The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) approved changes to Citizens’ rates and forms. These changes reflect the projected savings due to the assignment of benefits reform announced June 19, 2019. The new rates apply to new and renewing personal residential policies with effective dates on or after December 1, 2019. The changes are outlined below.
The rate changes vary by line, product type and territory. Individual rate changes are subject to a 10% cap, excluding coverage changes, 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.
