Looking for affordable flood insurance in Broward County?
If you live in Broward County, Florida, you know the region is known for its coasts and accessible beaches. But with that proximity to water comes flood risk. You may remember when a foot of rainfall in November 2020 caused massive flooding in Broward County. Some reports even noted the streets looked like canals.
That’s why flood insurance is so important. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) used to be the only game in town, but you can now add on flood insurance with Kin. You can see how our rates compare to the NFIP for Florida below.
| Kin Insurance | NFIP |

Unlike an NFIP, Kin’s Florida flood coverage is effective immediately and can be added on to your home insurance policy. That means you have one deductible and one premium for home and flood insurance.
On average, Broward County flood insurance costs $294 a year with Kin – that’s nearly 60 percent cheaper than the NFIP’s $470 a year.

According to the Broward County flood zone map, the region has the following flood zones:
Flood zones AH, AE, and AO are all high risk for flooding. In fact, AH and AE flood zones have a predicted 26 percent chance of shallow flooding over a 30-year mortgage period. Flood zone V indicates a high-risk coastal zone.
Only a minor portion of the county contains zone X, which is a low or moderate risk flood zone.
Flood insurance kicks in when your home experiences flooding that originates from a storm or rising waters. It can help pay to replace or repair:
Broken water mains can cause groundwater seepage, mudslides, and flooding. Flood insurance can protect you in these situations, too. Our flood coverage insures your home, other structures, and personal property for their replacement cost up to the limits of your homeowners policy.
