Insurance in Pembroke Pines
Western Broward, mostly built from the late 1980s onward, heavily governed by homeowner associations, and far enough inland that the flood conversation is about drainage rather than surge.
Broward
- Broward County, inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone.
- Newer construction means better code compliance, and the wind mitigation credits available here are frequently substantial for owners who have never had the inspection done.
- Association-governed communities are the norm, which brings master policy terms and assessments into the picture even for single family owners.
- Inland drainage and canal exposure, with the same 2023 rainfall lesson that applied across Broward.

- Wind mitigation on a house that already qualifies and has never been credited
- Household auto with multiple drivers and long commutes
- Umbrella liability, which is inexpensive and rare in this market

- River, lake, erosion and other causes35121.5%
The water here comes out of the sky, not off the sea. That is why a policy rated in a low-risk zone still matters, and why drainage, not distance from the beach, is the thing to ask about.

What this city is worth on a flood policy
The community holds Community Rating System class 5, which takes 25% off a flood premium inside a high risk zone and 10% off outside one. That is a discount the city earned by how it manages drainage and building, and it applies to you whether or not anybody mentions it.
How many homes here are actually covered
19.2% of homes in Broward County carry flood insurance: 125,204 policies against 652,397 residential structures. Flood is excluded from every homeowners policy, so the rest are carrying that risk themselves, most of them without knowing it. Inside the high risk zones, where a mortgage usually forces the issue, it is 76.1%.
