No. Homeowners insurance usually does not have surcharges for claims. However, you will loose any "claim-free" discounts that you have attained on the policy. If you have continuous claims the insurance company may require you have a higher deductible, get a security system, or cancel the policy. You don't want to have claims on your homeowners policy unless you have to. Homeowners insurance is for large claims not for small ones. Frequency of claims counts against you just as much as having a large claim. Homeowners policies are getting harder to get at good rates. If you have one protect your record and do what you have to so that you don't ruin the good coverage and rates you have. As a matter of full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Company in Central Georgia and have for the past 22 years. Prior to that I worked as an agent for a direct writer of insurance for 3 years.
