The filing, submitted to the California Department of Insurance this fall, would take effect on policy renewals after April 1, 2026 if approved as filed, though regulators may reduce or reshape the request during review.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"672\">Key facts &amp; timeline<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"1883\">\n<li data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"1176\">\n<p data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"1176\"><strong data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"694\">What was filed:<\/strong> The FAIR Plan\u2019s filing requests an average 35.8% rate increase for personal dwelling fire and allied lines; individual policy changes would vary widely by risk zone, with many homeowners seeing increases between roughly 40% and 55% while some low-risk properties could see reductions. The FAIR Plan says the new filing uses forward-looking catastrophe modeling and reinsurance costs allowed under California\u2019s Sustainable Insurance Strategy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1421\">\n<p data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1421\"><strong data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1209\">When it could take effect:<\/strong> The FAIR Plan has proposed the new rates to take effect beginning with renewals after <strong data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1313\">April 1, 2026<\/strong>, subject to the Department of Insurance review and any adjustments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1883\">\n<p data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1883\"><strong data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1436\">Why now:<\/strong> A surge in wildfire losses in 2024\u20132025 and the rapid growth in FAIR Plan enrollment \u2014 hundreds of thousands of policies have moved onto the plan in recent years \u2014 have strained the FAIR Plan\u2019s finances and pushed it to seek rate increases to remain solvent and to pay expected future claims. The plan has also billed private insurers to help cover recent big losses, an action that has intensified scrutiny.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"1923\">What it means for El Dorado County<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"2387\">El Dorado County sits in California\u2019s Sierra foothills and includes thousands of homes in moderate-to-very-high wildfire-risk areas. That location makes the county more likely to see increases toward the high end of the FAIR Plan\u2019s range. Local officials and wildfire-resilience programs have emphasized home hardening and defensible space as ways to reduce risk \u2014 and to qualify for insurance discounts under state programs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2786\">Regional reporting in the Sierra Nevada basin shows similar patterns: in nearby Lake Tahoe and Truckee, analysis of the FAIR Plan filing indicates average changes around <strong data-start=\"2559\" data-end=\"2570\">33%\u201343%<\/strong> in many ZIP codes, with some pockets facing increases of nearly 50% under the filing. Those local examples are often a bellwether for the foothill counties, including El Dorado.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2788\" data-end=\"2817\">Stakeholders and tensions<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2818\" data-end=\"4192\">\n<li data-start=\"2818\" data-end=\"3157\">\n<p data-start=\"2820\" data-end=\"3157\"><strong data-start=\"2820\" data-end=\"2845\">FAIR Plan \/ insurers:<\/strong> The FAIR Plan says its filing reflects the need to match premiums with current and projected wildfire risk and to account for higher reinsurance costs. \u201cBy statute, FAIR Plan rates must be sufficient to pay anticipated claims and expenses,\u201d a FAIR Plan spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3158\" data-end=\"3841\">\n<p data-start=\"3160\" data-end=\"3841\"><strong data-start=\"3160\" data-end=\"3205\">California Department of Insurance (CDI):<\/strong> The department reviews all rate filings and may approve, reduce or modify the requested increases. Commissioner Ricardo Lara has pushed regulatory reforms (the Sustainable Insurance Strategy) to bring forward-looking models into rate setting and has also taken enforcement actions against the FAIR Plan over disputed smoke-damage claims. The commissioner has said he is working to protect consumers while stabilizing the market. \u201cOur top priority is protecting Californians during this crisis and helping us recover,\u201d Lara said when announcing protections for wildfire survivors earlier in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3842\" data-end=\"4192\">\n<p data-start=\"3844\" data-end=\"4192\"><strong data-start=\"3844\" data-end=\"3881\">Consumer advocates and survivors:<\/strong> Consumer groups have criticized the FAIR Plan\u2019s claims handling and urged regulators to resolve ongoing complaints before approving large increases.

Property owners who complete qualifying mitigation work are encouraged to contact insurers about discounts, which can blunt the net effect of any rate increase.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4728\" data-end=\"4761\">What homeowners should do now<\/h3>\n<ol data-start=\"4762\" data-end=\"5812\">\n<li data-start=\"4762\" data-end=\"5009\">\n<p data-start=\"4765\" data-end=\"5009\"><strong data-start=\"4765\" data-end=\"4806\">Check your ZIP Code and renewal date.<\/strong> The effective date is tied to when your policy renews after April 1, 2026.
