The Oregon FAIR Plan (Fair Access to Insurance Requirements) is a state-mandated insurance program that provides basic property insurance to Oregon homeowners who cannot obtain coverage in the standard market. It is insurance of last resort — not a preferred option, but a safety net for homeowners in high-risk areas.
Gerald Ross Agency helps Oregon Coast homeowners understand the FAIR Plan, navigate the application process, and — whenever possible — find better alternatives in the standard or specialty market.

How Fire Mitigation Helps Oregon Coast Homeowners
What the FAIR Plan Does NOT Cover
The Oregon FAIR Plan provides only basic fire coverage. It does not include liability coverage, theft, water damage, or many other perils covered by standard homeowners insurance. Most FAIR Plan policyholders need to purchase a separate DIC (Difference in Conditions) policy to fill the coverage gaps.
FAIR Plan vs. Standard Market
The Oregon FAIR Plan is significantly more expensive than standard homeowners insurance for comparable coverage. It should only be used when standard and specialty market options have been exhausted. Gerald Ross Agency will always try to find standard or specialty market coverage before recommending the FAIR Plan.
Specialty Market Alternatives
Many homeowners who believe they need the FAIR Plan can actually find coverage in the specialty market. Gerald Ross Agency works with surplus lines carriers and specialty insurers that cover high-risk properties — often at better rates and with broader coverage than the FAIR Plan.
Wildfire Risk and the FAIR Plan
The Oregon FAIR Plan has seen significant growth due to carriers exiting the high-risk wildfire market. Oregon Coast homeowners in wildfire-prone areas are increasingly being denied standard coverage. Gerald Ross Agency specializes in finding wildfire coverage alternatives to the FAIR Plan.
