Insurer of last resort
Indiana Basic Property Insurance Underwriting Association (Indiana FAIR Plan)
Indiana's insurer of last resort, operating since 1968 for property owners the standard market has declined. It writes Dwelling Fire DP-1 (basic) and DP-2 (broad) forms, Homeowners Modified HO-8 (basic) and HO-2 (broad), and a Commercial Fire policy. The binding constraint is the limit: dwelling risks are capped at $250,000 COMBINED for building and contents -- one pot covering both, not $250,000 each -- which in 2026 is below the replacement cost of a large share of Indiana housing stock, so the plan often cannot fully insure the homes that end up there. Commercial risks are capped at $1,000,000 combined. Applicants must go through a licensed Indiana agent and reported practice requires proof of denial from three insurers. Coverage is narrower than a standard homeowners policy and is meant as a fallback, not an equivalent.
