Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 27, 2026 —
Florida’s attorney general has sued First Street Technology Inc., alleging the company uses deceptive practices in its property risk assessments and marketing. The company assesses property risks, including climate-related factors.
The state alleges that First Street markets fear to advance a climate activism agenda. It also contends that the company’s assessments deviate from official data, including FEMA’s flood insurance assessments, and incorrectly depress home sales and property values.
The allegations describe the state’s position in the lawsuit; the information provided does not include the company’s response or any court findings. It also does not specify when the lawsuit was filed, what particular assessments or marketing materials are at issue, or what evidence the state cites to support its claims.
The information available does not detail the methods First Street uses to produce its assessments or explain how the state compared them with FEMA data. Nor does it provide examples of affected property sales, the scale of any alleged effect on values, or the legal claims and remedies sought in the suit.
The case raises a dispute over how property risk information is presented and how the state’s allegations characterize the relationship between those assessments, official flood-related data and real estate outcomes. Further details about the lawsuit, including the company’s response and any decisions by the court, were not provided.
