Why Florida Claim Deadlines Matter

Florida property insurance deadlines changed in recent years. Many homeowners still think they have longer than they really do. For current Florida property insurance claims, the key working rule is one year from the date of loss for an initial claim and 18 months from the date of loss for reopened or supplemental claims.

That means a roof leak, hurricane loss, water intrusion issue, or storm damage dispute can become much harder to pursue if you wait too long. The safest move is to report damage quickly, document everything, and keep written proof of every call, email, inspection, and estimate.

What to Save Before the Deadline

Save dated photos, videos, estimates, receipts, claim numbers, adjuster names, emails, letters, and notes from phone calls. If a settlement looks low, do not wait until the last week to ask for reinspection or submit a supplemental estimate.
