Why Did Our HOA Insurance Premium Increase So Much This Year?

August 7th, 2026

If your homeowners association recently received its annual insurance renewal and experienced a significant premium increase, you are certainly not alone.

Across California, community associations are facing some of the most challenging insurance conditions seen in decades. Many Boards of Directors are opening renewal proposals only to find premium increases of 25%, 50%, or even more. Others are learning that their long-time insurance carrier has decided not to renew their policy at all.

Naturally, homeowners often ask:

  • Why did our insurance increase so much?
  • Has our community become a higher risk?
  • Did the Board do something wrong?
  • Can we simply shop around for a better price?

While every community is different, the answer is usually much broader than the circumstances of any one association.
