Flood Insurance Mandates Phase In For Citizens Property Insurance Corporation
What happened
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation is phasing in flood insurance mandates for policies in Florida, with the final phase beginning on January 1, 2027. All residential policies that currently include wind coverage will be required to carry flood insurance, even if the home is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) designated by FEMA. The requirement has been gradually phased in based on the home's insured value, which was $600,000 in 2024, $500,000 in 2025, and $400,000 in 2026. As of 2027, this value threshold will be eliminated.
