How much can my house fire insurance walk up?
Hi, I just want to know if anyone would know how much can/will my house's fire insurance go up? I live contained by the area where the CA fire is, (it did not burn my house but i judge the insurance agency has label my fastener code as fire zone or something). I just bought this house back surrounded by July and the fire insurance is about $450 a year. Can they jack up my fire insurance next year? if they can, how much can they jack it up to? is near anything I can do with it? I am currently insurance with Farmers.
Thanks.

Too soon to transmit what, if any, impact the fires will have on insurance rates.
Can they raise your insurance rates next year? Yes and they most promising will.
How much? It all depends on the damages etc
Is there anything you can do just about it? Call your agent and ask them. You could also check rates from more reputable companies. Farmers Insurance is rated worst that alone would be enough incentive to switch companies. Source(s): Farmers Insurance Rated Worst

The rates within Florida tripled in gulf coast areas. So the short answer, is...the rates can go up a LOT!!
To muddle through the rate, you have to demonstrate that your home is not a high risk. Here are some thinking:
1) Raise your deductible
2) Get a theft/fire monitor that calls the authorities when either the house get broken into, or the temperature of the house rises.
3) Cut down all the brush and grass in a "defensible" space around your home.
4) Get a fire pump for your swimming pool, if you have a pool.
5) Watch your credit--all the companies use credit now, and they associate poor credit beside frivolous claims.
6) Don't make frivoulous claims. If your washing mechanism overflows and ruins a $1000 carpet, pay for the mat. Don't give the companies an excuse to drop you.
7) Buy all your insurance from one company. The agent who have all your policies will fight for your business if he think its worth his while. If it's just one lousy policy, nobody cares, and they'd a short time ago as soon be rid of you. Source(s): I'm a State Farm agent
They can jack it up, with however much the file is approved by, with your state insurance commissioner. If the state commish doesn't approve a rate hike, they can't increase the rates. Source(s): agent, 21+ years
