Citizens Condo and Commercial Policies Are Moving

Under SB 1028, signed in June 2026, Citizens must set up a clearinghouse by January 1, 2027 to move condo and commercial policies to private insurers. If your association’s policy moves, compare deductibles and exclusions before the old policy ends, and keep any open Citizens claim documented.

Forum rules

  • Share your own experience. Be respectful.
  • No names, addresses, policy or claim numbers, or anyone’s personal information.
  • Posts are the views of the people who write them. A licensed public adjuster reviews every post and may edit or decline it.
  • Nothing here is legal advice. If you have damage now, call Homeland.

Rather Ask Privately?

Send your question straight to a licensed public adjuster instead of posting it. We answer the ones that help the most people in the forum, with names, addresses and anything that identifies you or your property removed. If you have damage now, don't wait for an answer: call us.

Stay in the know. Get the free Adjuster Advantage app from Homeland Public Adjusters: Policy Scan, a hurricane tracker, home inventory and answers like this one when they matter.

This answer is general information only and is not legal or insurance advice. Statutes, regulations and policy wording change, and how they apply depends on your own policy and the facts of your claim. Homeland Public Adjusters is a public adjusting firm, not a law firm.
