Code Description
Real Estate Appraisal Company - Outside Employees
Workers' compensation class code 8721 covers "Real Estate Appraisal Company - Outside Employees" — Florida real estate, property management, and building operations employees. Florida's active real estate market — driven by population growth, tourism investment, and commercial development — employs a large workforce in property management, building maintenance, leasing, and related support services.
The 2025 Florida filed rate for code 8721 is $0.24 per $100 of payroll. Historical rates: 2022: $0.26, 2023: $0.27, 2024: $0.26, 2025: $0.24. Rates for this code have declined 7.7% since 2022 — part of Florida's broader workers' comp market improvement driven by tort reform and loss-cost reductions approved by FLOIR. Real estate and property management workers face a range of hazards depending on their role — maintenance technicians who work with electrical systems, HVAC, and plumbing face meaningful injury exposure, while leasing agents and office staff carry minimal risk. Proper payroll segregation across these functions is important for premium accuracy.
Florida property management companies must maintain workers' comp coverage for maintenance staff who perform a range of tasks that can expose them to electrical, fall, and ergonomic hazards. Florida's condominium and homeowner association market creates additional employers — HOA-employed maintenance staff must be properly covered under the association's workers' comp policy.
Florida real estate operations that use independent contractors for maintenance or renovation work must verify that those contractors carry their own workers' comp insurance. Florida law can make the property owner liable for workers' comp benefits if an uninsured contractor is injured on the property — making certificate of insurance collection a critical risk management practice.
