Nebraska homeowners insurance non-renewal rules

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

Short answer: Under Neb. Rev. Stat. §44-522, a Nebraska homeowners insurer that won't renew your policy must give you written notice at least 60 days before it expires. If you think a notice broke the rules, contact the Nebraska Department of Insurance.

The rule

  • 60 days' written notice before cancellation or non-renewal of property policies (§44-522(2))
  • 10 days for cancellation due to nonpayment
  • Summarized in the Department of Insurance's homeowners review checklist

Source: Neb. Rev. Stat. §44-522.

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 Nebraska's FAIR Plan or other residual market, if one exists.
  4. If the notice seems late or vague, file a complaint with the Nebraska Department of Insurance.
