New Flood Insurance Requirements Affect Citizens Policyholders in Central Florida
What happened
New insurance rules are affecting Citizens policyholders in Central Florida regarding flood risk. Starting January 1, the requirement applies to policyholders with wind coverage on personal residential properties. Since Citizens does not offer flood insurance, customers must secure separate coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer.

Why it matters
The rules mandate that policyholders consider flood insurance even if they do not reside in a designated flood zone. The federal program offers potential discounts in some communities, and experts advise securing coverage before the deadline.
Legislative reforms in Florida are encouraging Citizens Property Insurance Corporation to take on new policies.
