Look up the exact property
Enter the street address in Miami-Dade County’s flood mapping tool. Save the address result and map date. If you are buying a unit or a house, ask your lender how it will determine any flood insurance requirement for that loan.
Bring the result to your insurer along with the type of property, its location in the building if applicable, and the date you need coverage. Ask for a written explanation of the proposed limits, exclusions, and deductible.

Ask the association for the current insurance summary and relevant association documents. Show those to your licensed insurance professional and ask which parts of the unit, improvements, and belongings need to be considered in your own proposal.
Ask about wind and hurricane deductibles, then ask separately about flood. If your offer includes shutters or other mitigation features, ask which documents the insurer needs to evaluate them.
