General Eligibility Considerations

What to confirm with GeoVera Specialty or an appointed agent

This profile provides public company information and a general checklist of factors to discuss before requesting a quote from GeoVera Specialty. It does not reproduce the carrier’s complete underwriting guide or determine whether a specific property or applicant will qualify. Current requirements may vary by program, policy form, county, property condition, applicant, and effective date. Confirm every eligibility question with GeoVera Specialty or a Florida-licensed agent appointed with the carrier.

Roof age and materialShingle roofs often receive closer review at roughly 15-20 years; tile and metal roofs often receive closer review around 25-35 years. These are general market ranges, not GeoVera Specialty rules. Confirm the current requirement, roof condition standard, remaining-useful-life treatment, and claim-settlement basis.
Home age and inspectionsOlder homes may need a four-point, roof, wind, or other inspection. Across public market examples, inspection requests often begin when a home is roughly 20-40 years old. Confirm the current trigger and accepted documentation.
PlumbingPipe material, age, leaks, updates, water heater, drain condition, and prior water losses may affect review. Ask whether an inspection, repipe documentation, water exclusion, limit, or other condition applies.
ElectricalOlder or discontinued panels, wiring methods, service size, repairs, permits, and inspection findings may affect review. Ask which documentation or remediation is currently accepted.
Claims and prior insuranceCarriers commonly review roughly the prior 3-5 years, but the period and treatment vary. Ask how the cause, amount, repair status, open claims, cancellations, non-renewals, and any coverage gap will be evaluated.
Occupancy and property usePrimary, seasonal, rental, short-term rental, vacant, renovation, and business-use risks may need different forms or programs. Describe the property’s actual use and ask which product applies.
Location, value, and featuresTerritory, flood exposure, replacement cost, construction type, animals, pools, trampolines, solar equipment, generators, and other features may require additional review, documentation, limits, exclusions, or a different program.
General educational range only, not a carrier rule or eligibility guarantee. Confirm current requirements with the carrier or an appointed Florida-licensed agent.
