About the plan

What is the North Carolina FAIR Plan?

The North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association (NCJUA), known as the North Carolina FAIR Plan, is a market of last resort that provides basic property insurance for insurable property anywhere in North Carolina.

On the coast, the North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA) — the Coastal Property Insurance Pool, or Beach Plan — provides essential property insurance for beach and coastal areas.

Both are associations of the insurance companies licensed to write property insurance in North Carolina. Unquoting helps you figure out which plan fits your property and handles the application.

Good to know

Before you apply.

FAIR Plans are an insurer of last resort. We'll check the regular market first, then apply to the North Carolina FAIR Plan for you if it's the right fit.

  • The FAIR Plan covers the whole state; the Beach Plan covers beach and coastal areas.
  • Neither NCJUA nor NCIUA provides flood insurance — flood coverage comes from the National Flood Insurance Program.
  • Both are markets of last resort, so we'll first check whether a standard insurer will cover you.

The cost of going uninsured

Without insurance, you pay the bill.

These are the average costs of a single homeowners insurance claim. Without coverage, North Carolina homeowners pay costs like these out of pocket, and a lender may add expensive force-placed insurance to your mortgage.
