General Liability Insurance by City
Every contractor in Southwest Florida eventually hits the same wall: the general contractor, the property manager, or the municipality will not let a crew on site without a certificate of insurance, and often not without being named as an additional insured on the policy. Florida's Construction Industry Licensing Board sets the floor, but the real-world standard on commercial jobs across Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties runs to $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.
What changes from city to city is the exposure underneath that certificate. A seawall crew working over a Cape Coral canal, a roofer on a Sanibel elevated build, and a retail build-out contractor in Estero are all buying “general liability,” but they are not carrying the same risk — and they should not be paying the same rate. Local permitting, flood zone, wind exposure and the mix of residential versus commercial work all move the number.

Most Contractors Need Both
General Liability covers third-party bodily injury and property damage. It does not cover your own employees — that is what workers' compensation is for, and in Florida construction it is mandatory from the very first employee.
See the same eight cities for Workers' Compensation coverage, or call (239) 898-2323 and we will quote both together.
