Fort Myers Naples, FL, October 13, 2026 —

A new report claims Collier County ranks second nationally for increases in homeowners insurance, but an expert has disputed the finding. The information available does not identify the report’s publisher or provide the data behind the ranking.

The expert’s name, specific objections and supporting evidence were not provided. It is also unclear whether the dispute concerns the ranking itself, the report’s methodology or another aspect of its findings. Without those details, the disagreement cannot be assessed further based on the information available.

The report’s comparison period, definition of an insurance increase and method for comparing counties were not provided. No figures for Collier County or other counties were included, and the report’s source data were not specified. Those details would help explain what the second-place ranking measures and how it was reached.

The claim and the expert’s challenge are the only findings described. No information was provided about how the report may affect homeowners, whether the ranking has been independently reviewed or whether either side has issued additional statements. Accordingly, the national ranking should be understood as a claim in a new report that has been disputed by an expert, rather than as a finding whose basis can be confirmed from the available details.
