Carrier appetite summary
Florida Family Insurance is a Florida‑domiciled personal residential carrier writing homeowners, condominium, rental property (landlord), dwelling fire, and flood coverage exclusively in Florida, distributed through a network of licensed independent agents. The public website, as of this refresh, does not publish a formal underwriting, appetite, or binding‑guidelines manual; detailed rules remain accessible only behind the Agent Sign In portal. Operational appetite (inferred from current positioning and product list): - **Preferred business:** Owner‑occupied primary residences and well‑maintained second homes/condos in standard construction, written through appointed Florida independent agents. Also targets small‑to‑medium residential rental risks (1–4 family, individual investor/LLC) with good maintenance and claims history. Emphasis on stable, long‑term presence in Florida and conservative underwriting rather than high‑risk growth. - **Product scope:** Homeowners, condominium, and rental property forms plus flood coverage, all limited to Florida locations. Policy discounts and coverage options are referenced from the main site but specific eligibility criteria and rating factors are not shown publicly. Restricted/declined risks (implied, not explicitly listed): - As a coastal Florida homeowners carrier, agents should expect tight controls around **high‑wind/hurricane‑exposed properties**, older roofs, prior severe or frequency losses, and homes not meeting current mitigation or condition standards. Non‑standard occupancies (short‑term vacation rentals, roomers/boarders, extensive business use at home) are likely to be either restricted to specific programs or declined per internal guidelines. - Public materials emphasize financial strength and “prudent underwriting strategies,” suggesting conservative stance on marginal risks, older construction without updates, or properties in the most catastrophe‑exposed territories. Geographic notes: - Florida Family writes only in **Florida**. Within the state, detailed county/ZIP and distance‑to‑coast rules are managed via internal underwriting; these are **not** exposed on the public site. Agents should assume normal Florida‑cat criteria: coastal and certain panhandle/south Florida zones may have tighter limits, deductibles, or capacity rules, all to be verified in the agent portal or with underwriting. Submission & agent/producer instructions (public-facing): - All business is written **through licensed independent agents**; consumers are directed to work with an agent rather than apply directly. New business and changes are submitted via the **Agent Sign In** portal (agent.floridafamily.com) which is only accessible to appointed producers. - No explicit public checklist is provided for submissions; standard Florida homeowners practice applies (complete application, replacement cost data, prior loss info, inspections and photos as requested, wind mitigation and roof documentation, etc.), but the exact required data elements and binding rules must be obtained from the secure agent site or underwriting. Because the carrier does not publish open underwriting or appetite guides, operational users should rely on: (1) the agent portal, (2) bulletins and manuals provided directly by Florida Family, and (3) direct underwriter contact for clarification of risk‑selection questions, territorial capacity, and binding authority, especially around coastal, older‑roof, and non‑standard occupancy risks.
