Florida's hurricane exposure makes commercial property one of the most complex lines in the state. ## Property Types We Cover - **HOA and Condo Association Master Policies** — Covers common areas, building exteriors, and shared structures for Florida condominium associations and HOAs - **Retail Store Insurance** — Covers building, inventory, equipment, and business interruption for Florida retail businesses - **Restaurant Property Insurance** — Covers kitchen equipment, building, and business interruption for Florida restaurants - **Office Building Insurance** — Covers commercial office buildings and their contents ## Florida Commercial Property Challenges Florida's commercial property market has been severely stressed by hurricane losses, reinsurance costs, and litigation. Key issues affecting Florida commercial property insurance: 1. **Citizens Property Insurance** — Florida's state-run insurer of last resort now covers many commercial properties that private carriers have non-renewed. Citizens commercial policies have coverage limitations and are subject to assessments. 2. **Wind exclusions** — Many private market carriers exclude wind/hurricane coverage in coastal Florida counties, requiring a separate wind policy from Citizens or a private wind carrier. 3. **Reinsurance costs** — Florida carriers face some of the highest reinsurance costs in the world, which are passed through to policyholders. ## HOA and Condo Association Insurance (SB 4-D / SIRS) Florida Senate Bill 4-D (2022) and subsequent legislation created new requirements for condominium associations: - **Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)** — Required for condo buildings 3+ stories by December 31, 2024 - **Milestone Inspection** — Required for buildings 30+ years old (25 years if within 3 miles of coast) - **Reserve funding** — Associations must fund reserves based on SIRS findings; no more reserve waivers [Learn more about HOA/Condo SB 4-D requirements](https://brightcoastins.com/florida/hoa-insurance/sb4d-sirs-requirements) [HOA Compliance Checker Tool](https://brightcoastins.com/hoa-compliance-checker) --- ## About Bright Coast Insurance Bright Coast Insurance is a Florida-licensed independent insurance agency (Florida License #L103957) specializing in commercial insurance for Florida contractors, builders, property owners, and HOA/condo associations.
