About Business
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, often called Citizens, started in 2002 when two companies combined. Its main goal is to offer windstorm and general property insurance to homeowners who cannot find insurance anywhere else. The Florida Legislature created Citizens under a special law, and its main office is in Tallahassee, Florida. Barry Gilway is the President/CEO and Executive Director of Citizens. As a not-for-profit company, Citizens does not focus on making money; instead, it helps people who need insurance. Over the years, it has become the biggest insurance provider in Florida.
