🏠Modeled
Insurance estimate
Modeled from build year, roof age, zone, and current market rates. Citizens approved 2026 decreases for most of South Florida, and homes with newer roofs often qualify for wind mitigation credits worth $800–1,400/yr.

🔨Check records
Roof & permit history
Roof permit age is one of the biggest drivers of your insurance premium, and open or expired permits routinely stall Palm Beach County closings. Search the PBC Building Division permit records (epzb.pbcgov.org) for this address before you offer. Picket flags roof age and open permits automatically in the full report.

📋Verify
HOA / condo status
If this property is in an association, request the budget, reserve study, and any SIRS or milestone inspection report before you offer. Under Florida law (SB 4-D, HB 913), condo buildings 3+ habitable stories must have these on file.

📄No claims found
Flood claim disclosure
Florida sellers must disclose past flood claims and federal flood assistance (HB 1049). Cross-check the seller's written disclosure at offer time.

Property tax
Estimated from the current assessment before homestead exemption. Filing homestead saves roughly $1,500/yr, and if you're moving within Florida, Save Our Homes portability can transfer part of your cap.

What we check

Six things that decide what a Florida home really costs

Zillow shows you the price. These decide the payment. Every one of them is public record — most buyers just don't know where to look until it's too late.

🌊
Flood zone, parcel by parcel
FEMA zones change block to block. Zone AE vs Zone X on the same street is the difference between $11K/yr and $2.8K/yr in flood insurance. Florida's disclosure law only makes sellers reveal past claims, not the zone or the premium.
Zone X = no mandatory flood insurance
🏠
What insurance will actually cost
Premiums vary wildly house to house even as rates come down. Roof age, wind mitigation credits, and flood zone move the number more than headlines do. We model it before you offer.
Same street: $2,900 vs $7,400/yr
🏢
Condo structural reports
Since Surfside, buildings 3+ habitable stories must file structural reserve studies with funding plans. Buildings that skipped the homework are heading toward $20K–$150K per unit special assessments.
SIRS deadline passed Dec 2025 — there's a paper trail now
📋
HOA reserve health
Underfunded reserves are the silent kill shot on Florida condo deals. Communities spending down reserves eventually assess the new owner — you — for the difference.
We flag reserves below 80% funded
🔨
Roof age & open permits
A 15 year old roof can make a home nearly uninsurable in Florida. Open or expired permits stall closings. Both live in county records most buyers never open.
Roof age drives your premium
📄
Flood claim history
Sellers must disclose prior flood claims and federal flood aid under HB 1049. We cross-check the parcel against NFIP records so the disclosure has to match reality.
Required disclosure since Oct 2024
