No, standard homeowners insurance policies in California do not cover earthquake damage (except for fire damage caused by an earthquake). You must purchase separate earthquake coverage, typically through the California Earthquake Authority (CEA). California law requires insurers to offer earthquake coverage to homeowners every other year in writing.
State Farm stopped issuing new policies in 2023, Allstate paused in 2022, and Farmers dramatically limited new policies due to wildfire risk, state regulations, and inflation. This means fewer coverage options and potentially higher premiums for Escondido homeowners. Some may be forced onto the California FAIR Plan, which provides basic fire coverage at higher costs.
Home insurance in Escondido typically ranges from $527 to $714 annually (about $43-$59 per month), which is below California's statewide average. However, costs vary significantly based on your home's specific wildfire and earthquake risk, age, construction type, and coverage limits. Properties in Very High Fire Hazard Zones face substantially higher premiums.
The California FAIR Plan is the state's insurer of last resort, providing basic fire coverage when traditional insurers won't offer policies. You might need it if you're in a high wildfire risk area and can't get coverage from standard carriers. As of June 2025, over 610,000 California homes were on the FAIR Plan, with average premiums around $2,800 annually.
Yes, standard homeowners insurance policies typically cover wind damage from Santa Ana winds, including damage to roofs, windows, and structures. However, the frequency and severity of wind events in your area affect your premium. You'll want to verify your policy's wind coverage limits and deductibles, especially given Escondido's exposure to these powerful seasonal winds.
Yes, the California Earthquake Authority offers premium discounts for homeowners who complete a seismic retrofit. A retrofit strengthens your home's foundation and structure to better withstand earthquakes. CEA also offers grants to help fund these retrofits, making this both a safety improvement and a way to reduce your earthquake insurance costs.
