Get Free Referrals while Helping Florida Homeowners Find Coverage

The Florida Market Assistance Plan (FMAP) is a free and convenient referral service that matches Florida property insurance shoppers with agents able to secure coverage from Florida-authorized insurance companies in their area.

Authorized by the Florida Legislature in 1985, FMAP’s online referral service is designed for personal residential property. Direct referrals are available for commercial residential, commercial nonresidential or liability coverage.

Participating agents can search FMAP’s database in real-time and set up daily alerts from the automated search feature. Receive email notifications when a request for coverage matches your specific search criteria.

Note: FMAP is not available for workers' compensation, employer's liability or motor vehicle coverage.
