Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation has formally filed an order turning back a 14% rate hike request by Citizens Insurance.

However, some policyholders will still have their rates increase, just not as high.

According to the order, Citizens’ primary personal residential policies will have an average premium increase of 8.6%.

On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced lower premium approvals in South Florida, with 19% of Citizens’ policyholders in Palm Beach County seeing a rate decrease; 52% in Broward County and 73% in Miami-Dade County.

“We want people to pay less, obviously we do, but it’s justifiable to say those rates should go down,” DeSantis said Wednesday at FIU.

The governor cited stability in Florida’s insurance market.

DeSantis credited litigation reforms, which he said have brought new insurers to the state and helped reduce Citizens policy numbers.

WPTV spoke Friday with Robert Norberg of Arden Insurance in Lantana to find out what policyholders can expect.

“Most clients will see a small increase or flat to what they had last year,” Norberg said. “We won’t know for probably a couple of days. Citizens is putting all those numbers together by form, by county so we will know those numbers soon.”

The new Citizens rates take effect June 1.
