What a 4-Point Inspection Covers

A 4-point inspection evaluates only the four major systems that insurance companies care most about. In Palm Beach County — where much of the housing stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s — these four systems are a direct window into insurance risk.

Roof

Material type, approximate age, visible condition, and signs of deterioration or prior repair. A roof at or beyond its expected lifespan is a primary Citizens Insurance concern in South Florida.

Electrical

Panel brand, type, condition, and wiring type. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels — common in older Palm Beach County homes — are frequently flagged by insurers and must be documented.

Plumbing

Supply and drain line materials, water heater age and condition. Polybutylene and galvanized pipes in older Boynton Beach and Delray Beach properties are common insurance concerns.

HVAC

Heating and cooling system age, condition, and functional status. Florida insurers want to confirm HVAC is operational and not a water damage or fire risk.

4-Point Inspections & Citizens Insurance in Palm Beach County

Palm Beach County sits squarely in Florida's high-insurance-cost corridor. Citizens Insurance — the state insurer of last resort — is one of the most common policies in the county, and its underwriting requirements include a current 4-point inspection for older homes. A failed or borderline inspection means delayed coverage, higher premiums, or a required re-inspection after repairs.

Palm Beach County 4-Point Inspection — Questions

Does Citizens Insurance require a 4-point inspection in Palm Beach County?
Yes. Citizens Insurance and most private South Florida insurers require a current 4-point inspection for homes 20 years or older as a condition of coverage or renewal. The requirement applies broadly across Palm Beach County, including condos in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach and single-family homes in West Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and Delray Beach.
What happens if my roof fails the 4-point inspection?
If our report documents a roof with significant wear, prior damage, or limited remaining life, your insurer may require a repair or replacement before binding coverage. We document exactly what we observe and photograph the conditions — you can use the report to get contractor bids and follow up with a re-inspection after repairs.
Can a 4-point inspection be combined with a wind mitigation inspection?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it for Palm Beach County homeowners. Both inspections are required by most South Florida insurers, and scheduling them together saves time and usually reduces the combined fee. Most homes in the county qualify for wind mitigation credits that can meaningfully lower annual insurance premiums.
How often does a 4-point inspection need to be renewed?
Most Florida insurers accept a 4-point inspection report for 3–5 years, though Citizens Insurance requirements can vary. Check with your insurance agent for the specific validity period on your policy. We can re-inspect when your report approaches expiration.
