Despite insurance market improvements in Florida in the wake of successful legislative efforts focused on curbing costly coverage lawsuits, the roughly 850,000 policyholders served by Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state’s carrier of last resort, can expect rate increases from 1% to 6.6% or more, according to WWSB, the ABC affiliate in Sarasota.

This increase, however, is markedly less than the 13% for which Citizens requested approval from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation in 2024.
