Citizens skips sinkhole coverage in Pasco, Hernando

When your homeowners policy with Citizens comes up for renewal after Sept. 1, look closely for the word "sinkhole." That's because sinkhole coverage will disappear for customers in Pasco and Hernando counties - the heart of Florida's "sinkhole alley" - unless they make a point to add it. As policies come up for renewal, Citizens Property Insurance Corp. automatically will drop sinkhole coverage from standard homeowners policies in Pasco and Hernando counties. Customers who want the coverage will have to buy it. Dropping the coverage could save Pasco and Hernando customers a bundle. But then only collapses that make a home uninhabitable will be insured. Major cracks from sinkholes will not be covered.
