Did you know that approximately 100,000 current Citizens insurance policyholders could be switched to a new insurer with higher premiums?<\/p>\n\n\n

Citizens insurance was created by the Florida legislature in 2002 as a non-profit government entity to insure homes that private companies would not insure. After many insurance companies began filing for bankruptcy or leaving Florida, the state began working to find a way for homeowners to insure their homes. Citizens was dubbed by legislators as the \u201cinsurer of last resort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Now, state operated-Citizens is beginning to dump homeowners\u2019 policies to other insurance carriers including a company called, Slide. Allegedly, Slide was approved to take up to 100,000 policies from Citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ron Assise, a Senior Vice President with an insurance brokerage service The Horton Group, \u201cIt\u2019s very easy for a current Citizens policyholder to gravitate towards it being a bad thing, and from and immediate standpoint, they very likely will be paying more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year when Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law an updated bill regarding Citizens, policy holders are now required to get a quote from a private insurance company before they can even renew their policy. This made the process of having home insurance coverage in our state that much more difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
