Florida Venue & Permit Proof of Insurance Requirements

Why Venues Require Proof of Insurance

Florida venues, parks, community centers, HOAs, churches, and event spaces require proof of insurance for a simple reason: they need to protect themselves from liability. If someone is injured using your inflatables on their property, they want assurance that your insurance — not theirs — will respond to the claim.

Common Venue Requirements

Certificate of Insurance (COI): A document proving you carry commercial general liability insurance with specific coverage limits. Most venues require at least $1 million per occurrence.

Additional Insured: Many venues require being named as an additional insured on your policy. This extends certain coverage from your policy to the venue for claims arising from your operations.

Waiver of Subrogation: Some venues require a waiver preventing your insurance carrier from seeking reimbursement from the venue after paying a claim.

Primary and Non-Contributory: This endorsement makes your policy respond first — before the venue's own insurance — in the event of a covered claim.

Permit Requirements

Many Florida municipalities require permits for inflatable setups at public events, parks, and commercial locations. Permit applications frequently require proof of insurance with minimum coverage limits. Some jurisdictions also require the municipality to be named as an additional insured.
