The ongoing insurance crisis in Florida has become a major concern for homeowners and property owners alike. Skyrocketing premiums, policy cancellations, and the struggle to find affordable insurance coverage have left many Floridians in a state of uncertainty. The recent town hall meeting in Port St. Lucie, hosted by WPTV’s Matt Sczesny and Meghan McRoberts, offered valuable insights into the issue and possible solutions. If you missed the event, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with a recap and details on how Vcita Home Inspection can help you navigate this challenging insurance landscape.
Florida’s Insurance Crisis: What Homeowners Are Facing
For months, homeowners in Florida have been hit with significant increases in their insurance premiums. Some have seen their rates double or even triple, while others have faced the frustration of canceled policies, leaving them vulnerable just as hurricane season ramps up. This insurance crisis is driven by several factors, including:
- Hurricane damage and storm-related claims
- Increased litigation costs for insurance companies
- Rising reinsurance rates
- The overall financial instability of many insurance providers
These challenges have left many Floridians wondering how they will maintain coverage without breaking the bank.

At the town hall meeting in Port St. Lucie, residents had the opportunity to ask questions and get answers from key figures involved in Florida’s insurance market. The event took place on September 17 and was designed to give homeowners direct access to experts who are tackling this crisis head-on.

The Importance of a Professional Home Inspection
As Calvin Johnson explained during the town hall, a thorough home inspection is more important than ever when it comes to securing affordable insurance. A certified inspection can identify improvements that need to be made to your property, which can in turn lower your premiums. For instance, many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with newer roofs, updated electrical systems, and storm-resistant features.

These inspections provide homeowners with the tools they need to negotiate lower rates with their insurers.
