Frequently Asked Questions
What workers comp coverage do I need for a Collier County construction project?
At minimum, you need workers comp insurance meeting Florida statutory requirements and general liability with at least $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Many Collier County GCs and project owners require higher limits — $2M / $4M GL is common, and some luxury projects require $5M umbrella coverage. Always review the contract requirements before bidding.
Do Naples contractors need higher insurance limits than other Florida counties?
Not by law, but in practice yes. Collier County's high-value construction market means GCs and property owners typically require higher coverage limits as a contract condition. $2M / $4M GL is standard for most commercial work in Naples, and $5M umbrella is common for projects over $5M in value.
