Citizens changes tack, will cover homes with prior sinkhole claims
Citizens Property Insurance Corp., along with two Pasco County lawmakers, announced Wednesday changes in its underwriting rules to cover residences with previous sinkhole claims.
The changes, which have been in effect since Oct. 31, allow state-run Citizens to cover homes with prior sinkhole claims — provided the damage has been repaired in line with recommendations from approved engineers, and the homeowner has the documentation and photos to prove it.
