Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions one can make. All homeowners should consider obtaining insurance coverage regardless of it being required by your mortgage company or if you own the home. It can take only one storm to handicap a family financially and result in years of recovery.
Florida homeowners are encouraged to maintain homeowners’ coverage year-round due to the geographic risks and weather conditions our State endures. Homeowners coverage exists in a variety of forms depending on your needs and lender requirements, Windward Insurance Agency offers:
- HO3 : Standard Homeowners Policy
- HO4 : Renters Policy
- HO5 : Open Peril Homeowners Policy
- HO6 : Condominium Policy
- HO8 : Modified Homeowners Policy
- DP3 : Dwelling Fire Policy
Coverage limits are determined and based on the cost to rebuild the home at today’s cost, not market value or sale value. When looking at a homeowners policy declaration page, here are some of the coverages to note:
Coverage A - Dwelling
Refers to the amount your home is insured for in the event of a covered total loss.
Coverage B - Other Structures
Indicates the amount of coverage you have for any structures not attached to your dwelling or home.
Coverage C - Personal Property
Refers to the amount of coverage you have for your personal property and belongings.
Coverage D - Loss of Use
