This decision reflects a trend among major insurance firms like Allstate, Farmers, and State Farm, who have also ceased providing homeowners insurance in certain states due to similar reasons.

Two insurance companies, Castle Key Indemnity Company and Amica Mutual Insurance, are seeking approval for premium hikes of over 50% for Florida homeowners, citing increased costs due to severe weather events.

Mark Friedlander of the Insurance Information Institute noted that the proposed increases are lower than last year's triple-digit jumps, and mentioned that seven new insurers have been approved to write homeowners' policies in Florida in 2024, potentially leading to more choices and better pricing for homeowners. Allstate, the owner of Castle Key, stated that the cost of providing reliable protection for Florida homeowners has risen dramatically and expressed confidence in recent insurance reforms addressing longstanding challenges in the state.
