Sources reviewed this pass cited Biloxi-specific homeowners-insurance averages ranging from approximately $3,725/year (NerdWallet) to approximately $5,879/year (Insure.com, for $300,000 dwelling/$100,000 liability/$1,000 deductible coverage, described as $3,375 above that source's own cited national average of $2,504) to an approximately $9,213-$9,648/year range (a separate citation and this record's own approximate annualization of a third source's cited monthly figure).

The Mississippi Wind Pool: A Real, Current Last-Resort Option for Wind Coverage
Standard homeowners policies often exclude or severely limit hurricane, wind, and hail damage on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and private insurers have real, currently become increasingly selective about coastal coverage. The Mississippi Windstorm Underwriting Association (the 'Wind Pool,' MWUA) serves as a real, current last-resort option for coastal properties private insurers decline to write wind coverage for -- windstorm deductibles commonly run 2%-5% of dwelling coverage.
Flood Insurance Is a Real, SEPARATE Cost -- Standard Policies Generally Exclude It
Standard homeowners insurance generally excludes flood damage entirely -- given First Street Foundation's real, cited figure that approximately 61.1% of Biloxi properties carry flood risk over a 30-year horizon (see the flood-hurricane-risk topic page), most Biloxi homeowners should budget for a SEPARATE flood insurance policy (through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood carrier) rather than assuming a standard homeowners policy covers flood damage.
Mississippi's Own Insurance Commissioner Has Warned of Further 2026 Rate Increases
Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney has real, currently warned coastal property owners to expect FURTHER rate increases in 2026 as the state implements a new model intended to address the long-term viability of coastal coverage -- a real, current, ongoing market instability this record discloses honestly rather than treating Biloxi's insurance costs as a settled, one-time figure.
