(WSVN) – Buying or renting may come at a higher cost. Citizens Insurance announced they are looking to raise rates by 14.2% after Hurricane Ian took a big part of the company’s reserve.
The company also announced they are considering a yet-to-be-determined hurricane tax if a big storm hits the state.
It is estimated that Citizens Insurance has about 1.2 million customers in Florida.
The Citizens rate hike request still needs state approval.
