Scheduled Personal Property Coverage: Extra Protection for Your Valuables in Florida

Your standard home or renters insurance protects a lot — but not everything. If you own high-value items like jewelry, watches, art, or collectibles, a standard policy may not fully cover them. That’s where Scheduled Personal Property Coverage comes in — giving your most valuable belongings the protection they deserve.

What Is Scheduled Personal Property Coverage?

Scheduled Personal Property Coverage (also called “itemized” or “floater” coverage) is an add-on to your home or renters policy that provides extra coverage for valuable items beyond standard policy limits.

Instead of a flat amount for all belongings, you list specific high-value items and insure them individually for their appraised or agreed-upon value.

What Items Can Be Scheduled?

  • Engagement and wedding rings

  • Fine jewelry and watches

  • Artwork and sculptures

  • Collectibles (coins, stamps, memorabilia)

  • Firearms or antique weapons

  • Musical instruments

  • High-end cameras and photography gear

If it’s valuable or irreplaceable — it’s worth scheduling.

Why Floridians Should Consider It

Florida’s coastal lifestyle comes with unique risks — humidity, hurricanes, and the occasional burglary. Scheduling valuable items ensures you’re covered even for accidental losses, like dropping a ring down the sink or losing jewelry while on vacation.

Unlike a standard homeowners policy, scheduled coverage often includes mysterious disappearance, which means if something valuable simply goes missing, you can still file a claim.

Key Benefits

  • Broader protection — covers accidental loss, not just theft or fire

  • No deductible on most scheduled items

  • Worldwide coverage — protection follows you wherever you travel

  • Agreed value payout — you’re reimbursed for the appraised amount

How to Schedule Your Property

  1. Get an appraisal or receipt for each item

  2. Provide documentation to your insurance agent

  3. Add the items to your policy as scheduled property

  4. Review your list annually to update values or add new items
