Just received my renewal information, an increase of $700. Looking around for quotes from other folks. I emailed the state insurance regulators asking how they can approve increases of this size. Emailed company asking for an explanation.

5 insurance companies in FL went bankrupt. The remaining ones went to the state and said, "if you want any insurers writing homeowners policies in FL, these are the rates we need."
FL obliged them. Average of 25%ish increase across all companies. Highest increases of 120%
All State approved as necessary. In fairness, they paid out a shitload of money with all the claims in Louisiana. Insurance is socialism. Our premiums pay for the claims of everyone. A lot of people had claims the past couple years. (More evidence that socialism only works until you run out of other people's money.)
The best I could do is get mine down a couple hundred by messing with coverages and setting my deductible to $5000.
Wasn't worth it, so I wrote a $4600 check with the same company.
