Florida Statute 627.70132 details time limits for filing property damage insurance claims in Florida. Homeowners in Florida have 2 years from the date of original loss to file a property damage claim with their insurance provider. Supplemental claims may be filed up to 3 years after the date of original loss. For Florida property damage insurance claims that result from catastrophic weather events such as hurricanes, tornados, windstorms, or severe rain the date of loss is the date the hurricane made landfall OR the date the significant weather-event was verified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
As with all significant weather-related property damage, your family's safety should be your first priority. Once your family has settled after the storm, you can start to gather evidence to submit for your Florida property damage insurance claim. Once your Florida property damage insurance claim is submitted your insurance provider will have 14 days to acknowledge receipt.
