North Port Homeowners Insurance

While North Port’s population has grown considerably in recent years to include nearly 60,000 citizens, it holds a few unique distinctions for homeowners few other larger cities in the state can boast.

Firstly, its housing market hasn’t quite blown the roof off of the values and, for those who do own residences within the city limits, homeowners insurance in North Port is on par and sometimes much cheaper than Florida’s average. So let’s take a look at the numbers and then dive deeper into what’s covered.

On par with the state’s numbers, the average cost of homeowners insurance in North Port, Florida is $2,609 per year for a $150,000 house, $4,514 per year for a $300,000 house and $5,999 per year for a $450,000 house.

When you consider Florida is one of the most expensive states for homeowners insurance, due largely in part to the number of hurricane hits — at $2,533, $4,386, $5,849 per year for the same cost houses — that doesn’t sound like a bad deal.

But the news gets better. Depending on which home insurance company you choose, as well as a few other factors, you could get a policy for much less. Keep reading to figure out how you may be able to get the most affordable policy possible.

The premiums displayed in this article were obtained by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. They represent the 2022 rate filings from the state’s largest insurers and can be utilized as an average of what Floridians can expect to pay for homeowners insurance each year.

Those numbers can shrink even more if your home falls into the right categories. The first category is homes that were built from 2001 to the present day. Houses in this category were built stronger to withstand high-force hurricane and tropical storm winds, causing less damage that results in fewer home insurance claims. The fewer claims, the cheaper insurance premiums are for everyone in the state.

The second category applies to houses built before 2001. If your home was built before 2001, you may not experience the same quality of build that withstands heavy winds, but there are a few upgrades you can make to combat wind damage from hurricanes.

The cheaper option is to install impact-resistant windows and doors, which will help you save some money. But the more expensive option, which results in much more savings, is to install a hip roof on your home. Hip roofs help direct the wind away from your home, which results in less damage.

After making those upgrades to a pre-2001 home, you’ll need to get a wind mitigation inspection done and prove to your insurer that you’ve made the necessary upgrades. After you’ve done so, you can experience rates as low — or lower — than the ones represented below.

If your house falls into one of the two aforementioned categories, your average yearly premium could drop well below $2,000 per year.

Even though homeowners insurance rates can be decreased drastically for homeowners in those two categories, you may have some trouble finding a property in North Port for $150,000 per year. So we broke down the average cost of premiums for $300,000 and $450,000 houses.

While your premiums may be based on your claims history, coverage amounts and your home’s location and crime in the area, your policy will come with the same coverage no matter which company you choose.

From weather-related perils like hurricanes, tornadoes and torrential rains to unexpected disasters like house fires, burglaries and even dog bites, homeowners insurance in North Port, Florida covers those and a multitude of other perils.

North Port is only a few feet above sea level and it’s surrounded by water. That means flooding is a major concern for the city’s residents.
