The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) has approved changes to Citizens’ rates, which apply to new and renewal policies with effective dates on or after February 1, 2022.
Rate Changes
As a result of Senate Bill 76, Citizens will increase the 10% cap (the "glide path") on rate increases by 1% annually beginning in 2022 and until the cap reaches 15% in 2026. The base rate changes vary by policy type, excluding coverage changes, mitigation adjustments, A-rated risks, Sinkhole Loss coverage rate changes, surcharges and a required rapid cash-build-up provision for the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF), if applicable. Rating worksheets have been updated as needed.
