Frequently Asked Questions

Cape May County — Common Questions

Specific to clients and businesses in Cape May County, NJ.

Why are almost all Cape May County shore properties in E&S markets?+

Cape May County's southernmost shore barrier island geography — including Wildwood, Cape May peninsula, Avalon, and Stone Harbor — puts nearly all coastal properties in high wind and flood zones. After repeated storm losses, most standard carriers dramatically restricted their coastal Cape May appetite. Non-admitted E&S carriers and private flood insurers handle the majority of shore placements.

Which carriers write Cape May County coastal property insurance?+

Kevin Brown places Cape May County coastal property through Neptune Insurance (private flood), Dual Insurance (flood alternative), and Burns & Wilcox for E&S homeowners and commercial property. Wright Flood provides an additional NFIP alternative.

Is E&S coverage more expensive in Cape May County?+

Generally yes. Cape May County E&S and private market premiums run 20-40% higher than comparable inland properties due to wind zone loading and coastal risk surcharges. However, private market flood rates through Neptune often beat NFIP pricing for newer construction with elevated foundations.
