Citizens Insurance, or Citizens, is the popular name of the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, a government create not-for-profit insurer in the State of Florida. Citizens was created in 2002 to provide property insurance for home-owners who could not obtain insurance elsewhere. This is not the same company as Citizens Insurance Company of America, an unrelated property and casualty insurance carrier in the Midwest that has existed since 1915, or the Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance that was created for similar purposes.
