New Excess Fire Insurance Coverage – Up to $10M+ for High‑Value Homes

By July 23, 2025No Comments

If you own or are buying a home in Santa Barbara, Montecito, or another wildfire‑prone area, you already know that finding enough fire insurance can be a challenge.

The California FAIR Plan generally caps fire coverage at $3 million, leaving many high‑value homes underinsured.

A New Excess Fire Program Is Here

We now have access to a new Excess Fire Insurance program that can provide up to $10 million in additional fire coverage (subject to underwriting) on top of the $3 million available through the FAIR Plan.


 Why Homeowners Are Excited

  • Higher Coverage Limits
    Protect the full value of your home, not just a portion of it.

  • Competitive Rates
    This program is currently offering some of the best pricing we’ve seen in the excess fire market.

  • Fast Turnaround
    Quotes are coming back quickly – ideal if you’re in escrow or up against a renewal deadline.


Who Should Consider This?

  • Homeowners with high‑value properties in wildfire‑risk areas

  • Buyers purchasing a home where standard coverage isn’t enough

  • Anyone who’s been told their coverage limit is capped too low
