## <a id="introduction"></a>Introduction to Tower Hill Prime Insurance Company

W.T. Shively founded Tower Hill Insurance in Miami, Florida in 1972 under the name Mobile Home Insurance Associates [(Tower Hill Insurance, "History", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/history/). The family-owned company has grown significantly over five decades. It now allegedly protects more than 1.7 million policyholders and ranks among Florida's largest residential property insurers [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Our Company", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/).

A Tower Hill holding company acquired DeSoto Prime Insurance Company in March 2003, which became Tower Hill Prime Insurance Company [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Companies", 2024)](https://www.thig.com/companies/). Tower Hill Prime has earned a Financial Stability Rating® (FSR) of A (Exceptional) from Demotech, Inc. [(Demotech, "Tower Hill Prime Insurance Company", 2026)](https://www.demotech.com/company/11027/). The company maintains over 500 employees dedicated to service across its operations [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Our Company", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/).

Tower Hill maintains its headquarters in Gainesville, Florida and has been BBB Accredited since April 10, 2013 with an A+ rating [(BBB, "Tower Hill Insurance Group LLC", 2026)](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/gainesville/profile/insurance-companies/tower-hill-insurance-group-llc-0403-3361). Construction on a new headquarters building in Alachua, Florida began in November 2023 [(Alachua County Today, "Construction Begins on Tower Hill Insurance Headquarters", 2023)](https://alachuacountytoday.com/news-featured/latest/6024-construction-begins-on-tower-hill-insurance-headquarters-in-alachua). The company also operates offices in Lexington, Kentucky; Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; and Dallas, Texas [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Our Company", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/).

## <a id="kindsofinsurance"></a>What Kinds of Insurance Does Tower Hill Offer?

Tower Hill offers several personal and commercial lines products [(BBB, "Tower Hill Insurance Group LLC", 2026)](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/gainesville/profile/insurance-companies/tower-hill-insurance-group-llc-0403-3361):

**Personal Lines:**
- [Homeowners insurance](/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance)
- [Renters insurance](/insurance-types/renters-insurance)
- Condominium insurance
- Dwelling fire (rental property) insurance
- Flood insurance

**Commercial Lines:**
- Homeowners associations (HOA)
- Commercial residential
- Office/retail
- Hotel/motel
- Self-storage facilities
- Manufactured housing communities

This review focuses exclusively on Tower Hill's personal lines products and does not cover commercial insurance offerings.

## <a id="sellhomeowners"></a>Does Tower Hill Sell Homeowners Insurance?

Yes. Tower Hill offers comprehensive [homeowners insurance](/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) coverage through its network of independent insurance agencies [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Our Company", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/).

The company provides coverage for diverse residential properties:
- Single-family homes
- Multi-family residences
- Seasonal and vacation homes
- High-value homes
- Condominiums
- Rental properties (dwelling fire policies)

Tower Hill focuses primarily on Florida home insurance but also offers coverage through its Tower Hill Specialty Program in Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Tower Hill Prime provides insurance for commercial risks in the Southeast, including Florida, and residential risks in 16 states outside Florida [(Ibid., "Companies", 2024)](https://www.thig.com/companies/).

### Coverage Options

| Coverage Type | Details |
|--------------|---------|
| **Standard Coverages** | Dwelling (Coverage A), Other structures, Personal property, Personal liability, Medical payments, Loss of use/Additional living expenses |
| **Optional Endorsements** | Extended replacement cost (up to 25%), Equipment breakdown, Personal articles, Private flood (up to $5 million), Emerald Endorsement package |
| **Specialty Products** | Watercraft coverage, CyberShield identity theft protection, Equipment breakdown for home systems |

Tower Hill Prime homeowners insurance policies include standard protection for your dwelling, personal belongings, and liability exposure. The company advertises these optional endorsements to enhance Tower Hill Prime Insurance Company coverage:
- Extended replacement cost coverage (up to 25%)
- Equipment breakdown coverage
- Personal articles endorsement
- Private flood insurance (up to $5 million)
- Emerald Endorsement package

## <a id="sellauto"></a>Does Tower Hill Sell Auto Insurance?

No. Tower Hill does not offer [auto insurance](/insurance-types/car-insurance) policies. Customers who want to bundle [homeowners](/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) and [auto insurance](/insurance-types/car-insurance) must purchase auto coverage from another carrier.

Tower Hill does offer a companion policy discount for policyholders who have an auto or home policy with Safeco.

## <a id="howdoesitwork"></a>How Does Tower Hill Insurance Work?

### Getting a Quote

Customers can obtain quotes through Tower Hill's online Quick Quote tool or by contacting an insurance agent [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Tower Hill Insurance", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/). The company sells policies exclusively through independent insurance agencies rather than directly to consumers.

### The Application Process

Tower Hill contracts with an inspection company that examines almost all new policies [(Tower Hill Insurance, "FAQs", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/faqs/). An inspector will visit the home 1-3 weeks after the policy takes effect to measure the perimeter and take photographs. They will not attempt to access locked areas.

### Policy Management

The company provides policyholders with access to the Tower Hill Customer Portal at THIG.com/Portal for policy management [(Ibid., "Tower Hill Insurance", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/). Customers can also download the Tower Hill Mobile app to access their accounts using the same credentials as the customer portal. The mobile app launched in May 2025 to provide policyholders with convenient on-the-go policy management [(Tower Hill Insurance, "News & Events", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/news-and-events/).

### Tower Hill Insurance Exchange

Tower Hill created Tower Hill Insurance Exchange in 2022 as a reciprocal insurer [(Tower Hill Insurance, "Tower Hill Insurance Exchange", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/companies/tower-hill-insurance-exchange/). Under this model, policyholders become "members" who insure each other and share in underwriting profits through Subscriber Savings Accounts (SSA). Most Tower Hill Preferred, Tower Hill Prime, and Tower Hill Signature personal lines policies transfer to the Exchange at renewal.

This transition occurred because Tower Hill Prime exited the Florida market in 2022-2023, with Floridian policyholders transitioning to Exchange policies during their renewal terms. The Exchange secured nearly $2 billion in catastrophe reinsurance as of June 2023 [(Ibid., "News & Events", 2026)](https://www.thig.com/about-tower-hill/news-and-events/).

    <p>Tower Hill's claim agent and response to a slight disaster at my house restored some faith in insurance companies. Very prompt response and follow up. Professional and quite pleasant, given the circumstances. From day one to the final disposition of the claim was very quick (just two weeks!). They have my ringing endorsement.</p>

    <p>I have been with Tower Hill since I purchased my new home. The first year the premium was $1,036, the second year (current) is $1,511 and now they want to renew for $2,745. That is an 80% increase! I have had no claims. I'm 50+ miles to the coast and have a great insurance credit score. Upon calling them they advised me that since there has been damage along the coast from the past couple hurricanes, they increased their rates.</p>

    <p>It should be illegal to raise insurance rates more than 5% a year. My insurance literally doubled within 2 years for virtually no reason. This company still gets credit for being the cheapest insurance in Florida, but that is completely false! Before changing insurers, literally every quote was over 30% cheaper and had much better coverage.</p>

    <p>This insurance company does not return calls and does not keep its word when dealing with their customers! After submitting an application for house insurance as of 3/1/2025 (due to previous insurance company leaving the state) we were accepted with the yearly premium paid in full. We received an email requesting proof of prior insurance along with an electrical panel that needed to be covered on 4/2/2025. The problems were corrected and at time of notifying them of the corrections being made they canceled our policy base on photographs taken by an authorized home inspector with no reasoning what so ever.</p>

### Is Tower Hill Prime Good Insurance?

Tower Hill Prime insurance may be a good option if you live in Florida or another state where they operate and need coverage in a disaster-prone area.

Tower Hill Prime homeowners insurance reviews show that the company maintains financial stability with ratings from both Demotech and KBRA, operates in 17 states, and provides access to private flood coverage up to $5 million.
