Insurance Company Dropping Your Coverage? Georgia 2026 Law Gives You More Time

You open your mail and see a letter that says, “We will not renew your homeowner’s insurance policy.” Your first thought is, “Am I about to lose my house?”

Quick Answer

Starting in 2026, Georgia law requires many insurers to give you more time before they walk away. Instead of a quick surprise, you can get up to 60 days’ notice. That extra time is your window to fix problems.

Real-World Example

Maybe you got a letter that says:

• “We found roof damage. Repair it or we may not renew your policy.”
• “There are safety issues on your property.”
• “We are re-inspecting your home; coverage may change.”

If you only had 10 or 30 days, it would be nearly impossible to line up work, get estimates, and prove you fixed it. The 60-day window is there to give you a real shot at catching up.

Who This Helps Most

This helps homeowners who:

• Didn’t know anything was wrong until the letter arrived.
• Live on a tight budget and need time to plan repairs.
• Have older homes, fences, or decks that need work.
• Do not speak “insurance language” fluently.

How Selvage Home Services (SHS) Steps In

Selvage Home Services (SHS) offers Insurance Non-Renewal Help – Repairs & Documentation. We focus on three things:

1. Reading the letter with you. We translate the insurance talk into plain English.
2. Finding exactly what needs to be fixed. Roof, fence, steps, gates, debris, etc.
3. Doing the repairs and documenting them. Photos, invoices, and written notes you can send back to the insurance company.

What If You’re Thinking “I Don’t Have the Money”?

We know many people feel like this:

• “I don’t have money for big repairs right now.”
• “I didn’t know I had to fix that to keep insurance.”
• “I just need a plan, not judgment.”

That’s why our repair plans can be phased:

• Safety-critical items first.
• Insurance-required items next.
• Nice-to-have upgrades later.

Steps to Take as Soon as You Get the Letter

1. Do not ignore the letter. Put it somewhere safe and readable.
2. Check the deadline date. Count how many days you have.
3. Take photos of the areas the letter mentions.
4. Call SHS and ask for Insurance Non-Renewal Help.
5. Use your new 60-day window to get ahead instead of falling behind.
