2022 Rates Changes

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

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

August 01, 2022

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) approved updates to Citizens’ rates, which apply to new and renewal policies with effective dates on or after October 1, 2022. The updates are outlined below.


Rate Changes (All Types)

The rate changes vary by risk, occupancy, product line and territory, except for Commercial Nonresidential Multiperil (CNR-M) rates which remain unchanged. Individual rate changes are currently subject to an 11% cap, excluding coverage changes, A-rates, mitigation adjustments, rate changes for sinkhole loss coverage, assessments and surcharges, and a required rapid cash build-up provision for the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, if applicable. 

Note: As a result of Senate Bill 76, Citizens began increasing the capped "glide path" on rate increases by 1% annually starting in 2022 until the cap reaches 15% in 2026.
