Florida State officials look for way to dump Demotech, find new property insurance ratings system

Joint Legislative Budget Commission approved the $1.5 million proposal to hire a consultant that will study additional options for insurers to get ratings

  • "Lawmakers may dump Demotech, the company that has provided Florida financial ratings for property insurance companies since 1996
  • Low ratings from Demotech have accelerated the decline of struggling property insurers by making it more expensive for the companies to acquire affordable reinsurance
  • Demotech has aggressively fired back at state officials, saying they have consistently rated Florida property insurers for 26 years
  • State lawmakers may consider creating a new state bureaucracy to rate property insurers who operate in Florida, which has unique insurance needs"
