Is AARP Homeowners Insurance Available in California?
✅ Yes — AARP homeowners insurance is available in California, but availability is limited and highly location-dependent, especially in wildfire-exposed ZIP codes.
In many parts of California, AARP homeowners insurance through The Hartford must be paired with the California FAIR Plan and a DIC (Difference in Conditions) policy to provide complete protection. Eligibility, pricing, and acceptance depend on wildfire risk, roof condition, prior claims, and home construction.
At Sun Insurance and Financial, we help California homeowners structure AARP homeowners insurance correctly, so coverage gaps, surprises, and non-renewals are avoided. ☀️🛡️
