No, standard homeowners insurance policies specifically exclude earthquake damage. You need to purchase a separate earthquake insurance policy to be covered. In San Diego County, earthquake insurance for a median-priced home costs roughly $2,200-$2,400 per year through the California Earthquake Authority, and only about 10 percent of California homeowners carry this coverage.
The average homeowners insurance premium in Chula Vista is about $992 per year, which is below both the California state average and the national average. However, your actual cost depends on your home's location, age, construction type, and proximity to wildfire risk areas. Homes in the eastern hills near wildfire zones typically pay higher premiums than coastal properties.
Yes. Chula Vista is designated as a Fire Risk Reduction Community by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, which means insurance companies are required to offer wildfire safety discounts if you complete specific mitigation measures like clearing brush, creating defensible space, and using fire-resistant materials. Make sure to document your work and notify your insurer to receive these mandatory discounts.
Homes in eastern neighborhoods like Eastlake, Otay Ranch, and Rolling Hills Ranch face higher wildfire risk due to proximity to hillside brush areas, which can mean higher premiums and potentially fewer insurers willing to write coverage. However, completing wildfire mitigation measures can help you qualify for discounts and make your home more attractive to insurers.
California launched the Sustainable Insurance Strategy in December 2024, allowing insurers to use forward-looking wildfire risk models and state-specific reinsurance costs when setting rates. This means your premium may now be based on predictive modeling of future fire behavior rather than just historical data. Additionally, California Earthquake Authority policies now cap personal property coverage at $25,000, down from $200,000.
