Standard Coverages

Citizens’ personal residential policies include several standard coverage types. Standard coverages vary, based on the type of policy and the property insured.

Depending on your policy type, certain coverages may not be available or included under your policy. Consult your policy documents for details about the specific coverages available under your policy, as well as any deductibles, limits or exclusions that may apply.

Citizens’ personal residential policies that include wind coverage will be required to have and maintain flood insurance coverage. This flood requirement is expected to ensure that Citizens policyholders will be fully protected from damage caused by severe weather.

See more optional coverage options offered by Citizens, including Sinkhole Loss Coverage, Personal Property Replacement Cost, Increased Limits for Ordinance or Law, Mobile Homes and Condominium Units.
