Who is actually writing homeowners insurance in your state?
Home Insurance Watch tracks which carriers are writing new policies, who has paused, and who has left, state by state. Built from regulator bulletins, rate filings, and residual-market data. Every status shows its source and its date.
The crisis, two directions at once
Enrollment in a state’s insurer of last resort is the clearest read on how hard its market is. Two of the biggest are moving in opposite directions right now.

California households are still being pushed onto the last-resort plan while Florida’s are moving back to private carriers. Same crisis, opposite phase. That is why we track every state on its own, from primary sources. Full divergence data →
Tracked states
California
California homeowners face the largest availability crunch in the country by exposure: FAIR Plan policies grew 152% between September 2022 and March 2026, and regulators have used mandatory post-disaster moratoriums to pause non-renewals in fire-affected counties.
Florida
Florida had the highest non-renewal rate in the country in recent federal data, but the market is now partially recovering: regulators report 20 new property and casualty insurers entering since the 2022-2023 legislative reforms, and Citizens has shed roughly 80% of its 2023 peak policy count.
Louisiana
Louisiana ranked second nationally for homeowners non-renewals in 2023 federal data, with coastal parishes among the hardest-to-place markets in the country.
Texas
Texas premiums are among the fastest-rising in the country, driven by hail and wind losses, though 2023 federal data ranked its statewide non-renewal rate lower than coastal crisis states.
Colorado
Colorado saw one of the largest premium increases in the country in 2025 (+33% per industry rate tracking), driven by hail and wildfire losses, marking it as a spreading edge of the availability crisis.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma is projected to become the second most expensive state for homeowners insurance, with 2025 premiums up roughly 24% on convective storm losses, and non-renewal rates that doubled between 2018 and 2023 in federal data.
Minnesota
Minnesota led the country in 2025 premium increases (+34% per industry rate tracking) on hail and convective storm losses, a spreading edge of the availability crisis outside the classic disaster states.
North Carolina
North Carolina ranked third nationally for homeowners non-renewals in 2023 federal data, with 13 inland counties among the top 100 nationally, showing the crisis is not only coastal.

Louisiana suspends insurance cancellations and non-renewals in seven parishes after Tropical Storm Arthur
Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple issued Emergency Rule 50, effective June 18, 2026 and announced July 2, temporarily suspending the statutes governing cancellations, non-renewals, non-reinstatements, premium payment deadlines, and claim-filing timelines for policyholders in Avoyelles, Lafourche, Pointe Coupee, Rapides, St. Landry, St. Tammany, and Terrebonne parishes, following Tropical Storm Arthur (June 17-18, 2026).
