What does 'in the box' mean for Jacksonville FL residents?

When people live in the Jacksonville Florida area, they might hear people talking about a storm being 'in the box.' That means that a named storm is within 500 miles of our state and when this happens, no homeowner's insurance policies will be written.

If you are purchasing a home in Jacksonville, be sure to contact your insurance agent right away to secure an insurance policy as soon as there is a fully executed contract.

Don't let a named storm come 'into the box' and delay your closing. Even if the named storm is not routed to hit Florida or the Jacksonville area, if it is 'in the box' all insurance underwriting comes to a stand still.

If you would like names of insurance companies that give the most competitve rates, just call or text us.

Steve, me neither! But many a closing is held up when the parties involved do not know about this.

Stephanie, it is. A person new to Florida just asked me about it this week, so I thought a post on it was in order.
