Insurance pays you

Due to the fact that Florida has not been directly hit by a catastrophic event in the last several years, the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust is able to once again return excess premium funds that were initially designated for catastrophe relief to Florida’s municipalities.
Beginning in December, members of the Insurance Trust that are renewing property coverage in 2013-2014 will receive a portion of the $8 million refund approved by the Trust’s Board of Directors. This is the sixth consecutive year excess premiums have been returned to members. Since 2007, a total of $52 million has been returned to members of the Insurance Trust.
