Important for Citizens Policyholders

Managed Repair Program: Citizens may assign your claim to their managed repair program, which uses pre-approved contractors. However, you have the right to choose your own contractor in many cases.

Percentage Deductibles:Many Citizens policies have deductibles based on a percentage of your home's value (typically 2-5%), not a flat dollar amount.

Mitigation Requirements: Citizens requires prompt mitigation to prevent further damage. Failure to mitigate can result in claim denial.
