Property insurance costs

Scott Eckhard Jewett

Government rules and state programs keep pushing your insurance higher. We will cut those rules and open the market so more companies compete for your business. More competition means lower premiums for Florida homeowners.

Cut the waste that drives premiums up and keeps claim dollars from reaching damaged homes.

Tell families the truth about flood risk and storm exposure instead of hiding costs until renewal day.

Scott and Regina live in Boca Raton, where they face the same insurance premiums, property costs, and everyday pressures that millions of their neighbors know all too well. For Scott, this isn't abstract policy; it's personal. He has drafted concrete proposals to reform Florida's broken homeowners insurance system because he's lived the frustration of paying far more in premiums than is ever paid back in claims. He is the only candidate who has attended the legislative sessions in person, and he's fighting to eliminate property tax for every homestead homeowner in the state.

David Jolly

Floridians pay the highest home insurance prices in America because every family is made to pay a private insurer to carry hurricane risk. Jolly's proposal moves that risk into one strong, state-backed fund. Here is how it works, what it costs, and what it saves.

Hurricane and wind risk makes up 60 to 70 percent of a Florida homeowners insurance bill. David Jolly's plan creates one strong, state-backed hurricane fund to carry that risk, so private insurers no longer have to price it into your policy. The fund is built to a financially sound level and backed by reinsurance before it covers anyone, and it is paid for by making insurance companies pay the taxes they currently avoid, along with other revenue that does not put the burden back on homeowners. Based on Insure.com's Florida calculator, that is the difference between $7,136 a year and $2,557 for a $300,000 home: about $4,500 a year, a 64 percent savings.

And the rule that governs all of it: the costs will be lower for Floridians, or we won't do it.

Instead of forcing every Florida family to pay a private insurer to take on that enormous hurricane risk, Jolly's proposal does four things, in order.

4) Restore our insurance market back to pricing risk, reflected in policy premiums.

The likely best two solutions are: allow radical competition between ALL legitimate and financially strong insurance carriers. Encourage a wide menu of deductibles, so that if customers wish, they can participate in risk in return for lower premiums.

2) For homes that are not candidates for fortification initiatives, and cannot buy affordable insurance, homeowners could be incentivized, one time, to buy a new, hurricane-proof home by providing them with an additional homestead exemption amount on their new home equal to the sale price of their existing home.

This plan keeps private insurers handling day-to-day administration and negotiation, uses loans instead of grants to reduce moral hazard, only applies full government control for the most extreme cases, and leaves the insurance market healthy, competing, and functioning with the most competitive premiums, exactly like it should function.

Cost of living in Florida

Scott Eckhard Jewett

Floridians are feeling the squeeze every month . Insurance premiums keep climbing, everyday costs keep rising, and too much of your hard earned money disappears into government waste. Scott Jewett is fighting to fix the insurance affordability crisis, cut taxes, shrink the size of government, and put real solutions in place that help families keep more of what they earn. He believes Florida can do better when we put people first .

Cut the rules and taxes that drive prices up. Open markets so more companies compete on groceries, housing, insurance, and power. When government gets out of the way, costs fall for working Florida families.
