No FAIR Plan in Arizona? Hereโs What That Means for You
If youโve been dropped by your insurer or your home is in a wildfire zone, finding coverage in Arizona can feel confusing with no Arizona FAIR Plan. We help connect you with reliable insurance alternatives, even in high-risk areas.
If Youโre Wondering If Arizona Has a FAIR Planโฆ
Youโre not alone. Many homeowners, especially those with states that have a FAIR Plan,ย are surprised to learn that there isn’t an Arizona FAIR Plan. And if youโve had trouble getting coverageโor youโre living in a wildfire-prone areaโgetting coverage can be frustrating.
We get it. But the good news is, you still have real options. And weโre here to help you explore them.
What Is a FAIR Plan?
A FAIR Plan (short for Fair Access to Insurance Requirements) is a type of backup insurance that some states offer when traditional insurance isnโt availableโoften because of location, claims history, or natural disaster risk.
Itโs not meant to replace standard insurance, but it can serve as a last resort. While Arizona doesnโt have this type of state-managed program, Arizona has a well regulated market which has led to a healthy marketplace and other paths may be available depending on your needs.
There are Alternatives in Arizona (and What That Means for You)
Arizonaโs insurance market has operated without a FAIR Plan for years. Whether thatโs due to past market conditions, regulatory choices, or other reasons, the outcome is the same: if traditional insurers say no, the state doesnโt offer a built-in alternative.
But that doesnโt mean you’re left without options. If your home has been flagged as high risk, there are still legitimate and legal alternativesโand we help connect you with providers and brokers who understand how to navigate them.
What to Do If You Canโt Find Coverage
Here are some of the main options we help Arizona homeowners explore when traditional coverage isnโt available:
Surplus Lines Carriers
These are licensed insurers that operate outside the standard insurance market. Theyโre often more flexible when it comes to things like wildfire zones, older homes, or previous claims. These policies can cost more, but theyโre designed for higher-risk situations.
Wildfire-Specific Policies
Some companies offer standalone wildfire protection policies. These are often combined with more basic home coverage to fill gaps left by traditional insurers.
Home Hardening Discounts
If your home has fire-resistant upgradesโlike a reinforced roof or defensible spaceโsome carriers may offer discounts or be more willing to provide coverage. We can connect you with providers who consider these risk-reducing improvements.
Independent Brokers
Not every policy is available online. Independent brokers often have access to carriers and programs you wonโt find on your own. We help match you with professionals who can navigate complex, high-risk scenarios.
If Youโre Feeling Stuck, Youโre Not AloneโWe Can Help

You donโt have to navigate it on your own. Let us help connect you with the right insurance resources for your situation.
