Perdido Key FAQ
Questions people ask before hiring.
Deadlines, Florida public adjuster fees and local coverage questions. Start with a free review, or text us now.
Text an adjusterHow long do I have to file a Florida property claim?
Florida law (Fla. Stat. 627.70132) generally requires notice of a new or reopened claim within 1 year of the date of loss and a supplemental claim within 18 months. For hurricanes, the date of loss is the landfall date. Your policy may require faster notice. If you are unsure whether your Perdido Key file is still open, bring the policy and carrier letters to a free review at (239) 444-8101.
My Perdido Key condo had water come through the sliders. Who pays?
Wind-driven rain through storm-damaged windows or doors is often a homeowners or HO-6 claim, while the association’s master policy may cover the building elements themselves. We read both and document the path of the water.
Is there a deadline for Isaias claims on Perdido Key?
Yes. Report a new or reopened hurricane claim within 1 year of the October 9, 2026 landfall and a supplemental claim within 18 months (Fla. Stat. 627.70132).
What are public adjuster fees in Florida?
Florida law caps public adjuster contingency fees in most property claims at 20% of the amount paid by the insurer under the policy. For claims arising from a declared state of emergency, a lower 10% cap typically applies for one year after the declaration. Ask for fees and services in writing before you sign. A free review does not create a fee.
