St. Johns County
Insurance Agency in Palm Valley, FL
Palm Valley, a Census community of 21,827 people, stretches from the Intracoastal Waterway’s Palm Valley reach east to the Atlantic shore, so many of its lots face two separate flood sources.
Intracoastal and OceansidePalm ValleyInsuring Older and Newer Palm Valley Homes
Along the Roscoe Boulevard waterfront, in Old Palm Valley, and inside the Plantation at Ponte Vedra, older houses stand beside recent rebuilds. Older homes can need code upgrades after major damage. Florida policies include ordinance or law coverage at 25% of the dwelling limit unless you refuse it in writing, so a $600,000 limit carries up to $150,000 for that code work.
Flood exposure here runs from the Intracoastal on the west to the Atlantic on the east, and elevation varies lot by lot. Unincorporated St. Johns County is CRS Class 5, which trims NFIP premiums by 25%. We run that figure against private flood offers for your address.
When your Palm Valley purchase has an older roof, we get its age from your realtor early and keep your lender posted on the binder.

Coverage We Write
Home, Auto, and Flood Insurance in Palm Valley, FL
Palm Valley pairs older Intracoastal homes with newer houses closer to the ocean, so roof terms, flood elevation, and boat liability all shape the quote.
Homeowners Insurance
Some carriers add a separate roof deductible of up to 2% of the dwelling limit on Palm Valley homes. You may turn it down in writing on a state-approved form, and we price the policy both ways.
Flood Insurance
FEMA rates Palm Valley flood policies on first-floor height and ground elevation, with no elevation certificate required. If your floor sits higher than FEMA’s data shows, an optional one may help.
Hurricane Coverage
Palm Valley wind mitigation reports now use the Rev. 04/26 state form, which added roof slope and wind speed region questions. For an older Intracoastal house, we get one before quoting.
Auto Insurance
A Palm Valley driver who once rejected uninsured motorist coverage in writing keeps that rejection at every renewal until asking for UM again in writing. Our first step is pulling that old form.
Condo Insurance
Palm Valley condo associations may vote a storm assessment months after the loss. Your HO-6 notice is due by the later of 1 year after the loss or 90 days after that vote, within 3 years.
Umbrella Insurance
Florida law does not generally require liability coverage on a recreational boat. For a Palm Valley owner who launches on the Intracoastal, we match boat liability to what the umbrella needs.
