Florida’s residential property insurance coverage marketplace has been “redefined” following an “impressive” collection of significant legislative reforms, suggests ranking company Demotech.

The Family Security determination stabilizes claims procedures, practices, and protocols. Governor DeSantis, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, and House Speaker Paul Renner have accrued a powerful collection of significant reforms. Florida’s residential property insurance coverage marketplace has been redefined.”
