How do you become a licensed independent insurance adjuster for the State of Florida?

An applicant for an adjuster license in Florida must be: 1. A resident of the state of Florida, or 2. A non-resident who already holds an adjuster license in the state in which he resides (if the home state requires a license), 3. At least 18 years of age without a criminal record (felony), 4. Qualify for the license by passing the state exam, OR pass an approved designation course such as the Accredited Claims Adjuster Designation offered by the University of Central Florida. The designation exempts the student from the state licensing test. The applicant must apply for the license through the Department of Financial Services in Tallahassee at: www.fldfs.com and submit fingerprints for a background check through the state's electronic fingerprint system.

Can a public adjuster be canceled by the homeowner?

A Public Adjuster is a person you hired. I don't think you can cancel a person. But, if you have hired a public adjuster, I suppose you can contact the adjuster and notify them that you have changed your mind about your needs. You can pay him or her off for any work already done and release them from further service. It would not be appropriate to withhold payment for the work the adjuster has already done. This could subject you to a civil suit.
