The California FAIR Plan is a state-mandated insurance pool that provides basic fire coverage to homeowners who can't get insurance from traditional carriers. To qualify, you must have been turned down by at least one admitted insurance company. The FAIR Plan offers dwelling coverage up to $3 million, but you'll typically need additional policies for liability coverage and to cover any value above that cap.
Wildfire insurance costs vary dramatically based on your location, home value, and proximity to brush zones. FAIR Plan premiums are often 2-3 times higher than traditional policies, and you'll likely need to purchase additional difference-in-conditions coverage to fully protect your home. In high-risk areas like Pacific Palisades or the Hollywood Hills, total annual premiums can easily exceed $10,000-$15,000 for comprehensive coverage.
If you receive a non-renewal notice, don't panic—you typically have 75 days before your coverage ends. Immediately start shopping for new coverage through independent agents who work with multiple carriers. If you can't find traditional coverage, apply for the California FAIR Plan, which cannot refuse you if you meet the basic eligibility requirements. In areas under a wildfire moratorium, your insurer cannot non-renew your policy for one year following the emergency declaration.
Standard homeowners insurance policies in California do cover fire damage, including wildfires, under the dwelling and personal property sections. However, the challenge isn't coverage—it's availability. Many insurers have stopped writing new policies or are non-renewing existing ones in high-risk areas, forcing homeowners to turn to the FAIR Plan or go without coverage entirely.
Focus on home hardening and defensible space. Replace your roof with Class A fire-resistant materials, install ember-resistant vents, use tempered glass windows, and create 100 feet of defensible space around your home with extra attention to the first 5 feet. Document all improvements with photos and receipts. Some insurers now offer discounts or preferential underwriting for homes that meet Safer from Wildfires certification standards.
The reforms finalized in December 2024 are designed to bring insurers back to high-risk areas by allowing them to use catastrophe modeling and charge for reinsurance costs, but relief won't be immediate. Experts expect changes to reach consumers in late 2025 or 2026 at the earliest. The new regulations require insurers to increase coverage in wildfire-prone areas by 5% annually, but this is a gradual process that will take years to fully implement.
