Q: What is the current Citizens 4-Point Inspection form for 2025?
A: As of March 2025, the official Citizens Property Insurance form is Insp4pt 03 25. This updated version includes new requirements for plumbing (PEX installation years) and specific photo requirements for the Temperature Pressure Relief (TPR) valve on water heaters.
Q: What are the 2025 photo requirements for a 4-Point Inspection?
A: For the Insp4pt 03 25 form, you must provide clear photos of all four systems (Electrical, Heating, Plumbing, and Roof). Specifically, you now need a clear shot of the water heater’s TPR valve and the interior of the main electrical panel with the dead front removed.
Q: Can I use digital inspection software to submit these forms?
A: Yes, provided the software generates the exact 03 25 PDF layout. Many inspectors use “QuickFill” or similar tools to ensure the data maps correctly to the Citizens-required fields to avoid manual entry errors.
Q: Can I use a generic Word document for a 4-Point Inspection?
A: It’s risky. Citizens requires specific fields, wording, and photo documentation that are built into their official inspection forms. Generic Word documents often miss required elements, which can lead to the inspection being rejected or needing to be redone.
Q: Does Citizens accept older 4-Point Inspection forms?
A: No. Citizens typically requires the most current version of the 4-Point Inspection form. Submitting an older form version may result in the inspection being rejected.
Q: What inspections require the Citizens 4-Point form?
A: The Citizens 4-Point Inspection form is required for older homes to evaluate the condition of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems when applying for or renewing certain Citizens insurance policies.
Q: Is a licensed inspector required to complete a Citizens 4-Point Inspection?
A: Yes. Citizens requires that 4-Point Inspections be completed by a properly licensed professional, such as a licensed home inspector, contractor, or engineer, depending on state requirements.
Q: How long is a Citizens 4-Point Inspection valid?
A: Most Citizens 4-Point Inspections are considered valid for one year, but underwriting requirements can vary. Always confirm current acceptance timelines with Citizens or the insurance agent.
Q: What happens if my 4-Point Inspection is rejected?
A: If a 4-Point Inspection is rejected, you may be required to resubmit using the correct form, provide additional photos, or correct missing information. Using the proper Citizens form from the start helps avoid delays.
