Home Insurance in Broward County
From Fort Lauderdale to Hollywood, Broward County homeowners face the same Florida realities — hurricane deductibles, roof-age underwriting, and carrier appetite that can change street by street. Being a coastal county, wind exposure does much of the pricing work here, which makes mitigation credits and deductible strategy worth real money.

What shapes home coverage in Broward County
The specifics carriers actually look at for this line at a Broward County address. Coverage always depends on the terms of your individual policy.
Building code
What the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone means for home coverage
Broward County is one of only two Florida counties inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-design region in the Florida Building Code. Buildings here are designed to a 170 mph three-second gust, and impact-rated glazing or approved shutters are required regardless of distance from the water. On a home policy that cuts both ways: underwriting is demanding, but documented impact openings, a compliant roof, and a current wind mitigation inspection are exactly the evidence carriers price down here.
Housing stock
The median Broward County home was built in 1980
That is below the 1988 Florida median (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2023 5-year estimates), which makes the typical house here about 46 years old. Year built is the closest public proxy for the things a Florida homeowners carrier prices hardest: roof age, wiring, plumbing, and the building code the house was permitted under. Homes past roughly thirty years are generally asked for a four-point inspection, and a roof near the end of its rated life is the most common reason an otherwise clean risk is declined or non-renewed. On housing stock this age a current wind mitigation inspection is worth ordering regardless — the credits it can document often exceed what it costs.
Coverage amount
Sizing dwelling coverage to Broward County values
Median owner-occupied home value in the county is $380,400, above the $325,000 statewide median (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2023 5-year estimates). That figure is context, not the number a policy is written on: dwelling coverage is based on what it would cost to rebuild, which in Florida has moved independently of market value as labor and material costs changed. The gap runs both ways at this price point — land value can make an owner think they need more coverage than the structure requires, while newer or waterfront construction is often insured for less than a rebuild would actually cost. It is worth having replacement cost calculated rather than assumed.
