I called Farm Bureau to see if they could see our LA Citizens new premium on their end yet. She said no but to expect 65% or so BUT some haven't been that high.

I then said we are considering just self insuring and she said no can do.

Our agent was out for the day so this was the secretary ... left a message for him to call me tomorrow.

She wouldn't know if you can self insure or not.

The only party who could force you to insure would be a HOA or condo association and that would require bylaws as such prior to you moving in.

I've never seen those types of bylaws. But they could exist.

If you don't pay the renewal, I promise you won't have coverage. She doesn't know what she's talking about

she is incorrect. You can self insure on both fire and/or wind/hail. You can keep your Farm Bureau hazard and drop the wind coverage through Citizens

She probably didn't know what "self-insure" meant.

But Farm Bureau can't tell you what to do. Just don't pay them bill and see how fast you are self-insured.

You absolutely can self insure if your house is paid off.

I know some companies that write x-wind homeowner policies require that you maintain a separate wind/hail policy as a condition of the homeowners coverage. For example, homeowner company could say that they won’t write/renew your x-wind homeowners policy if you dropped the Citizens wind/hail policy. I don’t know if this is actually a rule Farm Bureau has, but have dealt with other insurers who won’t write the homeowners without proof of the separate wind policy. In that case, still nothing stopping you from dropping both policies
