Huge Proposed Insurance Rate Hikes Threaten Charlotte & North Carolina Homeowners
Did you know that insurance companies have proposed massive rate increases for homeowners ranging from 17.4% to 30%? This is the second rate increase request in just TWO YEARS, with rates being increased 4.8% statewide on average in 2017. On top of the recent property revaluations in Charlotte/Mecklenburg County, the last thing that homeowners need right now is a big increase in insurance rates. See the message below from the NC Homeowners Allicance.
"Last year, North Carolina’s homeowners convinced Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey to block an unreasonable homeowners insurance rate hike. We need to do it again!
The latest proposal from insurance companies would increase rates by an average of 17.4 percent, but for some consumers the increase could exceed 30 PERCENT!
Last year, NC Homeowners Alliance members around the state emailed and called Commissioner Causey to make sure he knew how the increase would harm homeowners.
We need your help again to tell Commissioner Causey to SAY NO to the insurance companies’ request. Please send the email below so Commissioner Causey can hear how this increase would hurt NC homeowners. The NC Homeowners Alliance will keep you informed."
