03 What's the FAIR Plan coverage limit?

Homes valued above this typically need a difference-in-conditions (DIC) policy from a non-admitted carrier to make up the gap. The FAIR Plan covers fire and basic perils only — it does not include theft, liability, or additional living expense (ALE) at the level of admitted-market homeowner policies.
04 How do I dispute a FAIR Plan denial?
If your FAIR Plan claim has been denied or undervalued, you have the right to request the denial in writing, demand a complete copy of your claim file, and request reinspection. Following the 2025 Aliff v. California FAIR Plan ruling, blanket smoke-damage denials are no longer permitted, opening many previously-denied claims for reopening. A licensed public adjuster can navigate this process on your behalf.
