What this means for you
- The 44/100 score rates this area's wildfire exposure from 0 (minimal) to 100 (extreme). Insurers use similar models to decide whether to offer a policy and what to charge — a score this high is what triggers premium increases and non-renewals.
- “High” is the band that score falls into. Homes here are among the first that carriers reprice or decline to renew.
- The 14–66 range is how much risk varies street to street. Your exact address could score noticeably higher or lower than the headline — check it before you assume.
- 14 fires within 25 miles since 2000 is the area's recent track record. Underwriters treat a longer nearby fire history as higher risk for the whole ZIP — not only the homes that actually burned.
The closest federally recorded wildfire is the Little Valley (2016), about 5.7 miles away. Insurers weigh this proximity heavily — risk varies street by street, so see the full Incline Village risk report or check your exact address.
What high risk means for your coverage
This band sees steep premium increases and rising non-renewals — shopping specialists early matters. Nevada’s wildfire-insurance pressure centers on the Sierra Front and Lake Tahoe basin around Reno and Carson City. Notably, Nevada does not operate a FAIR Plan, so homeowners declined by admitted carriers rely on the surplus-lines (E&S) market.
What fire insurance costs in Incline Village
Sierra Front and Tahoe-basin homes face rising premiums and non-renewals; without a FAIR Plan, surplus-lines coverage is the backstop, making mitigation and shopping specialists especially important.
~$1,094/yr in mitigation-linked discounts and credits may be available to Incline Village homeowners who harden and document their home.

What if no carrier will insure my Incline Village home?
Nevada does not run a FAIR Plan, so Incline Village homeowners declined by admitted carriers turn to the surplus-lines (E&S) market. Documenting defensible space and hardening improves both eligibility and price.
Can I lower my Incline Village fire insurance premium?
Yes. Document defensible space, harden the home (Class-A roof, ember-resistant vents, Zone 0 clearance), and pursue IBHS "Wildfire Prepared Home" certification — these unlock 5–25% discounts with participating carriers and can be the difference between a "yes" and a non-renewal.
