Citizens Property Insurance gearing up to Raise Rates

Filed under: National Real Estate — Tags: — Penney @ 10:35 am

Citizens Property Insurance, the largest property insurer in the state of Florida, is seeking to raise their rates by 8.4% on average.  The proposal has been approved by the board but still needs approval from the Office of Insurance Regulation.

Under the proposal, certain policyholders could see a decrease.  In the Miami Beach area an average decrease of 3.8% is proposed as well as a 10% decrease for the coastal areas of Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Citizen’s rates were frozen by the state legislature from 2007 to 2009; however regulators allowed rates to rise.
