Short answer: Under 13.8.4.9 NMAC, a New Mexico homeowners insurer that won't renew your policy must give you written notice at least 30 days before it expires. If you think a notice broke the rules, contact the New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance.
The rule
- 30 days' written notice before the policy expires
- The 10-day rule in §59A-18-29 applies to cancellations, not non-renewals
Source: 13.8.4.9 NMAC.
What to do if you get a notice
- Check the dates. Count from when the notice was mailed or delivered.
- Ask your insurer or agent for the specific reason and whether a repair or update would change its decision.
- Start shopping right away. If regular insurers turn you down, ask about New Mexico's FAIR Plan or other residual market, if one exists.
- If the notice seems late or vague, file a complaint with the New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance.
