Citizens Insurance hearing in Tampa on Tuesday

  • Mike Fasano

Citizens insurance customers area residents who face prodigious rate hikes for sinkhole coverage will get their opportunity to vent Tuesday afternoon in Tampa, when the Office of Insurance Regulation hosts a public meeting scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at the Tampa Convention Center.

The Office of Insurance Regulation is considering Citizens’ recent application for sinkhole rate increases that will reach up to - seriously - 2,000 percent in some counties. The average statewide average increase is set at 429 percent.
