California FAIR Plan Policy Review
If you have a California FAIR Plan policy or a renewal notice, talk through your homeowners coverage with a licensed agent. We can help you prepare the right questions about your current policy, possible supplemental coverage, and available market options.
No obligation. Coverage availability, eligibility, and premium vary by property, location, underwriting, policy terms, and carrier.
Why a policy review matters
Start with the coverage you have today.
The California FAIR Plan is an insurer of last resort for residents who cannot obtain coverage through a regular insurance company. Its policies provide basic property insurance rather than every coverage found in a comprehensive homeowners policy. A clear review begins with the declarations page—not a generic promise of savings.
The California Department of Insurance notes that a Difference in Conditions policy may complement a FAIR Plan policy with coverages such as water damage, theft, liability, and additional living expenses. Whether a particular policy fits depends on the property and the terms offered.

Common questions
California FAIR Plan policy-review FAQs
Can a California FAIR Plan policy be reviewed?+
Yes. A licensed agent can review the policy documents you provide, explain the questions to ask about limits and named coverages, and discuss whether other available options or supplemental coverage should be explored. Availability and final terms depend on the property, underwriting, policy terms, and carrier.
What is a Difference in Conditions policy?+
The California FAIR Plan explains that a Difference in Conditions, or DIC, policy can provide coverages not available through the FAIR Plan, such as water damage, theft, and liability coverage. DIC policies are designed to combine with a FAIR Plan policy; they are separate policies and terms vary.
Can I move off the FAIR Plan?+
The California Department of Insurance recommends shopping the market. A policy review can help identify the facts needed to explore available homeowners coverage. No move, price, or coverage outcome is guaranteed.
Should I wait for my renewal notice?+
You can request a review before or after a renewal notice arrives. Having the declarations page, current renewal information, and property details helps an agent compare the questions that matter to your coverage review.
