In Apex Roofing and Restoration, LLC v. State Farm Florida Insurance Company, No. 5D21-1919 (Fla. 5th DCA July 1, 2022), the Fifth District Court of Appeal (“DCA”) concluded that when a claimant files a Civil Remedy Notice (“CRN”), the statutorily-mandated sixty-day period to respond to the CRN will not be tolled if the insurer invokes its right to appraisal during that period, even if appraisal is not completed until after the sixty-day period has expired. The Fifth DCA noted that last year, the Fourth DCA reached the same conclusion in Zaleski v. State Farm Florida Insurance Company, 315 So. 3d 7 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021).
