About the plan

What is the Washington FAIR Plan?

The Washington FAIR Plan was established in 1968 to provide basic property insurance on dwellings and commercial buildings for applicants who have difficulty getting a policy in the standard insurance market.

Coverage is available statewide, as long as the property is occupied and reasonably maintained.

The Plan is an association of the insurers licensed to write property insurance in Washington. It is not a state agency and receives no taxpayer funding, but it is supervised by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
