Need Policy / Refused Renewal

Hi,

I live in Novato California. I own a 3/2 residence that I rent. The house backs up to open space. I have never had to use my homeowners insurance since I’ve owned the property (2011). I was just notified that by the insurer that they will not renew my fire policy. They say I live in a fire hazard area. I have called a couple companies and am told they will not insure my residence. I will continue searching, but would like assistance with ideas or names of companies that will insure my property.

Thank you for any assistance

Dear David,

We’re sorry that you’re experiencing what is unfortunately a very common problem in California. We recently presented a webinar that discusses this topic in detail and you can view it on our website: Keeping Your Home Protected When Insurance Options are Limited and Expensive. You can also find additional resources in the shopping help section of our website and in this publication: Dropped by your home Insurer? Where to go for help in California.

We hope this information is helpful.
