At the county level: Opal (1995) drove 10-15 feet of surge from Navarre Beach to east of Destin; Ivan (2004) and Dennis (2005) also hit this coast.
Even without surge, heavy rain and wind-driven damage are the typical claims.
Do building codes affect insurance in Crestview?
Parts of the county, especially areas near the coast, fall in the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region, where new construction needs impact-rated openings or shutters. Your building department can confirm whether a given address is inside it.
Homes built or re-roofed after the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 tend to document better on a wind mitigation report; older homes may need a 4-point inspection.
