Personal Umbrella Insurance for Hillsboro Beach Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Florida, coordinate with your homeowner association or marina needs.
Why Hillsboro Beach Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Coastal living, boating activities, hurricane risks, and high-value properties increase the chance of large liability claims. If a judgment exceeds the limits on your auto or homeowners policy, an umbrella helps protect savings, home equity, and future income.
We’ll sync your base policies with carrier requirements, then add an umbrella limit that fits your household, drivers, and properties.
Florida Context: Underlying Policies & Coastal Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements
Florida requires a minimum of $10k/$20k for bodily injury and $10k for property damage, but umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k. If your policy is at minimum, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits to qualify.
Home/Condo/Renters Liability
Most umbrellas require at least $300k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at flood, windstorm, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Property Owners
Florida law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; landlords often need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Hillsboro Beach Regulations
In Hillsboro Beach, properties in coastal areas must comply with flood zone requirements and obtain necessary permits. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your HOA, lender, or the City asks.
Tip: Keep records for storm shutters, flood barriers, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
