At what age of the house does an insurance company require a four point inspection to issue or renew homeowners insurance?
Sunday, May 5, 2019
The second largest insurance company in Florida, Citizens Insurance, requires a four-point inspection report for homes more than 30 years old. Here’s how it is stated at their website.
Other insurance companies have different standards and State Farm, for example, requires a four-point for just about any age house. Also, see our blog post Is the 4-point insurance inspection strictly pass or fail?
