Market risk
The insurance market in Washington County
As of 2026-05-31, about 117 Washington County properties were insured by Citizens Property Insurance, Florida's state-backed insurer of last resort. Citizens is where homeowners land when private carriers decline or non-renew them, so its local footprint is a useful read on how hard the private market is here. Every carrier, Citizens included, has its own claim-handling patterns: how fast it pays, what it denies first, how it scopes roof and hurricane claims. Know yours before you file.

What is exposed
Housing and building stock in Washington County
Washington County's building stock shapes its claim profile. The median owner-occupied home is valued near $171,000 and dates to about 1990, with 50.4% of the stock built before 2000. Manufactured and mobile homes make up 36.7% of units, a stock especially exposed to wind. Older roofs, pre-modern-code construction, and manufactured housing all draw closer carrier scrutiny on wind, roof, and water claims, and are where scope and payment disputes concentrate.
