Who to contact after property damage
- 01
Report to local government
In unincorporated Gilchrist County, the county government; inside a city or town, that municipality handles things like repair permits, code questions, road and drainage problems, and any damage surveys it runs after a storm. A report to a local government is not an insurance claim.
- 02
Report to your insurer
Your claim starts only when you notify your insurance company (and, for flood, your separate flood insurer). Note the claim number, the date, and who you spoke with.
- 03
Keep your own record
When it's safe, photograph the damage at your Gilchrist County property before repairs. Keep damaged items or samples only when safe and practical; don't retain unsafe or contaminated items or delay urgent cleanup. Save every estimate, receipt and letter.
