Sounds like we need some "political help"----time to contact your State Senator/State Representative for a change in laws to require coverage if you sell insurance in Florida. Citizens (State's coverage) insures Against Hurricanes and sounds like they might be the last resort for sinkhole coverage. We had no problem getting sinkhole coverage for our new home in Sumter County. 10% of house value as a deductible. That's a bit of an "ouch" but it is coverage.
