Updated to reflect our current focus on Florida homeowners insurance. This article replaces older health‑insurance content and now provides up‑to‑date guidance for Florida homeowners.
Florida’s homeowners insurance market has changed dramatically over the past few years. Companies have entered, exited, merged, and adjusted underwriting guidelines in response to storms, reinsurance costs, and state‑level reforms. As a homeowner, it can be difficult to know which companies are writing policies, what coverage they offer, and how to choose the right carrier for your home.
Below is a clear, updated overview of the major homeowners insurance companies serving Florida in 2026 — including what they’re known for, the types of homes they prefer, and what homeowners should consider before choosing a carrier.

Slide Insurance
Slide is one of Florida’s fastest‑growing insurers, specializing in modern underwriting and competitive rates for newer homes. Often strong for updated roofs and homes with recent wind‑mitigation features (wind mitigation inspection).
Tower Hill Insurance
Tower Hill offers multiple product tiers for standard, older, and high‑value homes. Their appetite favors updated roofs and electrical systems.
Florida Peninsula / Edison Insurance
Sister companies known for solid coverage packages and strong customer service. Competitive in lower‑risk wind zones and for homes with completed wind‑mitigation inspections.
TypTap Insurance
Technology‑driven carrier offering fast quoting. Selective on roof age but very competitive for post‑2002 homes or homes with newer roofs (roof underwriting changes).
Heritage Insurance
Writes a wide range of Florida homes with flexible coverage options. May accept older roofs depending on condition and inspection results.
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation
Florida’s insurer of last resort. Used when private carriers decline coverage due to roof age, location, or underwriting restrictions. Essential coverage but stricter rules and not designed to be the cheapest option.
How to Choose the Right Florida Homeowners Insurance Company
When comparing carriers, consider:
- Roof age and condition: The #1 underwriting factor in Florida.
- Wind‑mitigation credits: Can save hundreds per year (wind mitigation inspection).
- Location: Coastal counties, flood zones, and high‑wind areas affect pricing.
- Home age: Newer homes often qualify for better rates.
- Coverage needs: Water, roof, and liability options vary by carrier.
Every company has its own appetite. Some prefer newer roofs, some newer construction, some older homes. Matching your home to the right carrier is the entire game — and that’s where an independent agent makes the difference.
