Jacksonville homeowners face unique risks — hurricanes, tropical storms, and widespread flood exposure from the St. Johns River and coastal proximity. Your home insurance needs to account for named storm deductibles (typically 2% to 5% of your dwelling coverage), replacement cost coverage to rebuild at today's prices, and proper liability limits.
Hurricane deductibles: Most Jacksonville home policies include separate hurricane or named storm deductibles that kick in when the National Weather Service issues a hurricane watch or warning. Unlike your standard deductible (usually $500-$2,500), hurricane deductibles are percentage-based — a home insured for $300,000 with a 2% hurricane deductible means you pay the first $6,000 of hurricane damage out of pocket.
Important: Standard home insurance does NOT cover flood damage. With much of Jacksonville in FEMA flood zones (especially Riverside, San Marco, and neighborhoods along the St. Johns), separate flood insurance is often required by lenders and essential for true protection.

Florida requires all drivers to carry minimum auto insurance: $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 in property damage liability. However, these state minimums are dangerously low — a serious accident in Jacksonville can easily exceed $100,000 in damages.
Uninsured motorist coverage is critical in Jacksonville. Florida has one of the highest uninsured driver rates in the country. If you're hit by an uninsured driver and you don't have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, you could be stuck with medical bills and vehicle repairs out of pocket.
We recommend Jacksonville drivers carry at least $100,000/$300,000 in bodily injury liability, comprehensive and collision coverage for your vehicle, and uninsured motorist protection. We'll shop multiple carriers to find you competitive rates.

Jacksonville's proximity to the St. Johns River, coastal location, and low elevation make flood insurance essential for many homeowners. Large portions of Jacksonville — including Riverside, Avondale, San Marco, Mandarin, and waterfront areas — sit in FEMA-designated flood zones where flood insurance is required by mortgage lenders.
Even if you're not in a flood zone, flooding can happen. Over 25% of flood claims come from moderate-to-low risk areas. Heavy rain, drainage issues, and storm surge can cause flood damage anywhere. And remember: standard homeowners insurance does NOT cover flood damage.
Flood insurance is available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private flood carriers. Coverage typically includes your building and contents (personal belongings). Premiums vary based on your flood zone, elevation, and coverage limits. We can help you understand your flood risk and find affordable coverage.
