TALLAHASSEE — As Hurricane Ian was bearing down on Florida, the sixth private insurance company this year was declared insolvent in our state. Florida’s property insurance market is in crisis.

Property insurance rates in our state are the highest in the nation, with Floridians now paying an average of $4,231 per year, more than three times the national average.

Right now, Floridians are paying triple the national average in costs for property insurance and premiums have increased 112.8% since DeSantis took office in 2019. When confronted with the reality of this crisis, Governor DeSantis called for a special session which resulted in a $2 billion bailout of the insurance industry, with no relief for homeowners.
