Citizens Property Insurance Corporation www.citizensfla.com The Citizens Property Insurance Corporation is now using a new method to determine premium rates. The goal is to make insured homes safer and to save the policy holder money. This discount program — the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation Wind Classification Plan — now provides some of the most substantial discounts in the marketplace to customers who make certain disaster-prevention improvements to their homes. If you make certain improvements that will strengthen your home against the destructive power of hurricane force winds, you could save as much as 50 percent on your Citizens Property Insurance Corporation policy premium. In fact, these home improvements may already exist on your home! View a summary of the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation insurance premium savings incurred by historical participants in the Department of Community Affairs' Residential Construction Mitigation Program.

Florida Building Code Cost and Loss Reduction Benefit Comparison Study
(The Code Demo Report)
Under Section 110 of Chapter 2000-141, Laws of Florida, the Department of Community Affairs was directed to undertake a demonstration and education project to illustrate the true cost impact on residential single-family house building associated with the implementation of the Florida Building Code.
Ten categories of new requirements of the Florida Building Code were identified that would likely affect construction costs: wind loads, termites, concrete slabs, gable end-walls, screen enclosures, swimming pool, energy code, mechanical code, plumbing code, and general requirements that are not building specific. Considerations within the wind loads category are: wind speed, exposure classification, enclosure classification, walls, windows, sliding glass doors, wind borne debris protection, entrance and garage doors, roof covering, and roof structure. Cost impact estimates were made for each of the ten categories. Visit www.floridabuilding.org to download a free copy of the report in PDF format, or to purchase a copy which you will receive through the postal service.
