Georgia homeowners insurance non-renewal rules

By Alishahi Insurance, independent broker · CA License #4348151 · Updated October 2026

Short answer: Under O.C.G.A. §33-24-46, a Georgia homeowners insurer that won't renew your policy must give you written notice at least 60 days before it expires. The insurer must give its reasons. If you think a notice broke the rules, contact the Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner.

The rule

  • 60 days' notice for policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, raised from 30 days by SB 35
  • Notice goes to you and to your lender, if any

What to do if you get a notice

  1. Check the dates. Count from when the notice was mailed or delivered.
  2. Ask your insurer or agent for the specific reason and whether a repair or update would change its decision.
  3. Start shopping right away. If regular insurers turn you down, ask about Georgia's FAIR Plan or other residual market, if one exists.
  4. If the notice seems late or vague, file a complaint with the Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner.
