What Makes a West Palm Beach Claim Different
Landlords and tenants claim on different policies
About 50.5% of occupied homes in West Palm Beach are owner-occupied, per 2020-2024 Census estimates, so close to half are rented. After a storm, the landlord's policy usually covers the building, while the tenant's renters policy covers the tenant's belongings. Some landlord policies also pay lost rent during repairs. Knowing who insures what keeps one party from claiming another party's loss.
Towers, associations and assessments
About 30.6% of West Palm Beach housing units, 19,083 units, are in buildings with 20 or more units, per 2020-2024 Census estimates. When a tower is damaged, the association claims under its master policy, and owners may face a special assessment for costs it does not cover. An HO-6 policy with loss assessment coverage may help with that bill, but only if the policy includes it.
A flood map dated December 2024
West Palm Beach's currently effective FEMA flood insurance rate map is dated December 20, 2024. The city has held Community Rating System Class 5 since October 1, 2018, giving NFIP policies a 25% discount in high-risk zones. A newer map can move a property into or out of a flood zone. Either way, flood damage is claimed on a flood policy, not a homeowners policy.

Questions to Ask Any Public Adjuster About a West Palm Beach Claim
- Do you represent landlords as well as owner-occupants? Close to half of West Palm Beach's occupied homes are rented. Landlord policies are written differently from homeowners policies, and lost rent coverage needs its own proof.
- Will you check my HO-6 for loss assessment coverage? About 19,083 West Palm Beach units are in buildings with 20 or more units. After a large loss, an association assessment can reach every owner, and some HO-6 policies help pay it.
- Have you checked my property against the December 2024 flood map? The city's current FEMA map is dated December 20, 2024. Knowing the zone helps explain how your flood policy was rated and what to expect when water damage is claimed.
