Frequently asked questions about Georgia home insurance

Do I need flood insurance in Georgia?

If you live in a high-risk area, you may be required by your mortgage company to buy flood insurance. It's a good idea even if it’s not required, especially if you live in a coastal area. You can buy flood insurance through an agent or company that participates in NFIP.

Do I need hurricane or windstorm insurance in Georgia?

If you live near the coast, you need coverage for hurricanes. Georgia is one of the states that allows insurance companies to add a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible, which is usually 2% of the dwelling coverage.

If you are unable to obtain windstorm coverage -- for example, because you live on the coast and are at much greater risk of hurricane damage -- the Georgia Underwriting Association will provide coverage. You can visit the GUA website for more information.

What can I do if I can't get homeowners insurance in Georgia?

Georgia residents who are unable to secure homeowners coverage can turn to the Georgia Underwriting Association.

The GUA serves as a residual insurance market with the mission to ensure that "basic property and liability insurance may be made available to all Georgians." You can find more information on the GUA website.

Where do I file a complaint against a Georgia insurance company?

You can contact the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire if you have a claim dispute, premium problem, or other concerns regarding your insurance company.

To file a complaint, fill out a complaint form at the department website.

You can reach the department by mail at: Georgia Department of Insurance, 2 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Suite 716 West Tower, Atlanta, Georgia 30334.

If you have additional questions, call the Consumer Services Division at (404) 656-2070 in the metro Atlanta area and toll-free at (800) 656-2298.
