Roof and 4-Point Inspection Form Updates

-------------------

-------------------

February 09, 2018

Citizens updated the following forms to evaluate risks better and determine whether a property meets Citizens’ eligibility guidelines:

The previous versions have been deleted from our website, and the updated forms are available at:
  • The Agents website: Select Personal → PR-M → General
  • The Public website: Select Insurance → Get a Policy → Inspections

Agents and licensed inspectors should begin using the updated forms immediately. After September 1, 2018, if the agent submits a previous version of the form(s), Underwriting may request additional information or create other underwriting actions.
