The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) has approved the following company to participate in the July Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens) take-out period.
For the June 20, 2017 Commercial Residential Take-Out period:
- Weston Insurance Company – approved to remove up to 617 commercial residential (Coastal Account) and 872 commercial non-residential (Coastal Account) policies.
This approval brings the total number of potential personal and commercial residential policies approved for take-outs in 2017 to 69,724; the actual number of policies removed from Citizens so far in 2017 was 12,276 as of April 18. These take-outs are part of ongoing depopulation efforts to reduce the number of policies in state-created Citizens and transfer them back into the private insurance market. Policyholders who receive a take-out offer may choose to remain covered by Citizens through the opt-out process.
The companies approved to participate in a personal residential and/or commercial residential take-out along with the number of policies approved for removal are available on the OIR webpage. Typically, monthly approvals are posted to this webpage within a week of Citizens’ deadline for OIR to issue an approval.
