Florida Property Insurance Company Search and Claim Help

Start with the full insurer name on your policy, then use official records and the insurer’s own reporting instructions. A familiar brand or a list of company names is only the beginning.

Reviewed November 3, 2026. General information; the policy, dates and circumstances of your loss matter.

Search the official Florida company records

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation company search lets you search by name, identifying code, company type and authorized lines. Review the exact matching entity, its status and any relevant receivership information. OIR cautions that its records change and may not be complete or current at every moment.

A parent group, agency, administrator and issuing insurer can have different names. Ask your licensed insurance agent to clarify the entity and coverage arrangement. If a company does not appear as expected, seek clarification rather than assuming that a similar result is the same insurer.

FedNat, Southern Fidelity, Capitol Preferred and St. Johns

These names should not be treated as ordinary current homeowners-insurance options. The Florida DFS receivership directory lists FedNat, Southern Fidelity and St. Johns in liquidation. Use the exact company and policy in force at the time of loss, together with any assumption or replacement-policy notices.

FedNat

DFS records show liquidation on September 27, 2022, and a receivership claim-filing deadline of September 27, 2023. DFS also explains the separate treatment of Florida policies assumed by Monarch National and flood policies. Do not assume a later policy or every loss belongs to the FedNat estate. Official FedNat instructions and notices.

Southern Fidelity and Capitol Preferred

DFS records show Southern Fidelity’s liquidation on June 15, 2022, and a claim-filing deadline of June 15, 2023. Capitol Preferred merged into Southern Fidelity in September 2020 and is included in that receivership. DFS identifies a flood-policy exception to the cancellation of the other policies. Official Southern Fidelity and Capitol Preferred information.

St. Johns

DFS records show liquidation on February 25, 2022, and a claim-filing deadline of February 27, 2023. Its page explains the 2022 policy transition to Slide and subsequent estate notices. A replacement policy and an older St. Johns loss are different matters. Official St. Johns instructions and notices.

The listed filing dates are historical and have passed. Do not read this directory as an invitation or assurance that a new claim, objection, supplemental request or lawsuit remains timely. Obtain current directions for the particular file from the receiver or applicable guaranty association, and consult a Florida attorney about legal rights and deadlines.

Where to check an existing Florida claim

The Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) provides information about covered claims involving insolvent insurers and lists (800) 988-1450 as its toll-free contact. Eligibility, limits and deadlines apply; FIGA is not a replacement insurance policy. The receiver handles separate estate matters, and the appropriate contact depends on the issue and company.

Keep the old policy, claim number, date of loss, payment history and all receiver or guaranty-association notices together. Ask for the approved document-submission route before sending sensitive records. EPA can discuss property-damage documentation within our licensed role; we do not determine guaranty eligibility, provide legal advice or revive an expired deadline.

Buying coverage and handling a claim are different tasks

For a new policy, work with a licensed insurance agent. Florida DFS provides Verify Before You Buy resources. Review the complete form, endorsements, limits and deductibles, including water, roof, flood, valuable-property and repair provisions that matter to your home.

EPA’s role is public adjusting for the policyholder when engaged. We do not sell insurance or recommend a policy based solely on an insurer’s size, advertising or position in a list.

Already have property damage?

Keep the policy in force at the time of loss, the claim number if reported, the insurer’s estimate or decision, photographs, mitigation records and repair proposals together. Identify what remains unresolved: the cause of loss, damaged areas, repair method, pricing, documentation or a stated policy limitation.

Our claims-contact directory links verified official reporting sources. For a new claim, you may call EPA for help preparing the information; when engaged, we can participate in the reporting call. Do not delay required notice or reasonable measures to prevent further damage.

Carrier-specific resources

Find independent claim guidance for Universal Property & Casualty, Frontline and other companies through the directory. For high-value residences, our premium-policy resources cover matters to examine in private-client policies. A carrier name alone does not determine coverage.

What does an insurance-company ranking tell you?

A market-share table describes a particular measure and period. It is not a ranking of the best claim service or an endorsement of a policy. See our guide to current NAIC market-share reports before comparing lists from different years or lines of insurance.

Do not delay emergency assistance, reasonable mitigation or required notice while awaiting a consultation. Public adjusting representation requires a separate written agreement describing services and fees.
