Utah wildfire insurance & regulation

FAIR / residual market

No residential FAIR Plan was found in official UID materials reviewed. Secondary news reported HB 562 (FAIR-plan concept) dying in March 2026 — confirm against Utah Legislature / UID. Residual path: surplus lines / specialty admitted.

Non-renewal & notices

News reporting has cited elevated nonrenewals — treat quantitative journalism as pending UID data. Exact statutory nonrenewal-day count: verify Utah Insurance Code / UID consumer guide before publishing.

Mitigation credits & disclosure

No Utah wildfire-score disclosure/appeal statute was found in the research pass. Carrier-filed discounts (including some Firewise community filings in multi-state materials) may exist company-by-company. UID consumer materials emphasize disaster claim contacts and preparedness.

Risk-score / appeal path

Ask carriers in writing for underwriting basis and any credits; escalate to UID consumer help. Do not invent mandatory appeal clocks.

Homeowner takeaways

Conflicts & caveats

HB 562 FAIR-plan reports are secondary — confirm legislature / UID before citing.
