Practical next steps

Simple things homeowners in ZIP 34736 can do with this information.

Ask about a wind mitigation inspection. Florida insurers must offer discounts for wind-resistant features such as roof-to-wall straps, a secondary water barrier and opening protection. A licensed inspector's form documents what your home has.
Compare at renewal. Premiums vary widely by ZIP code, home and insurer. Use these averages as a reference point, not a price, and compare a few quotes at renewal.
Keep records. A roof certificate, receipts for upgrades and photos of your home's condition can help when you shop for coverage or file a claim.
Review your deductibles. Many policies have separate wind, hail or hurricane deductibles set as a percentage of your dwelling coverage. Knowing yours in dollars helps you budget.

Historical averages, not a quote. Homeowners figures are inflation-adjusted averages from the U.S. Treasury Federal Insurance Office "Supporting Underlying Metrics" (2018–2022, published January 2025). They cover HO-3/HO-5 policies from participating private insurers and exclude state residual-market plans (such as FAIR plans and Citizens), surplus-lines and flood coverage. Treasury notes that individual ZIP codes can contain data anomalies. Your price depends on your home, coverage and insurer. Treasury's data covers a smaller share of Florida's market than of other states and leaves out Citizens Property Insurance and other residual-market policies, so Florida figures are less representative.
