Citizens Single Personal Lines (SPL) Roof Conditions
All roofs must be in good condition with no damage or visible signs of leaks to be eligible for coverage with Citizens. In addition, specific age of roof requirements have been implemented. Roof eligibility does NOT apply to HW-4 and HW-6 policies. Please see the underwriting manuals for each line of business for complete details.
Age of Roof Requirements
Homes over 25 years old with a shingle roof, homes over 50 years old with any other type of roof and mobile homes over 25 years old must have the roof replaced to be eligible for coverage. To assist policyholders, Citizens has created a Roof Condition Certification Form (CIT RCF-1 1108) which may be used to certify the eligibility of the roof. Other acceptable documentation includes a copy of a completed roofing contract or an inspection completed by a licensed roofing contractor, which contains the required information, found on form (If you have any questions, please contact your for assistance.
EXCEPTION – At Least 3 Years of Remaining Useful Life

The documentation may be either a properly executed Roof Condition Certification Form (CIT RCF-1 1108) or a statement/inspection from a licensed roofing contractor, which contains the required information found on form (CIT RCF-1 1108).
EXCEPTION – Intent to Comply
