Take Action Against Proposed Homeowners’ Insurance Rate IncreasesThe NC Rate Bureau is proposing to increase rates for homeowners’ insurance across the state, which would take effect in August 2024, unless denied by NC Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey’s office. The proposed increase for our area would be 45.1% in Dare County beach communities and 33.9% for inland areas. The KDH Board of Commissioners recently passed a resolution opposing a homeowners’ insurance rate increase and has submitted the resolution in opposition to the proposed rate increase to NC Insurance Commissioner Causey. The statements will also be submitted through a public comment process. The Kill Devil Hills Board of Commissioners has consistently supported KDH families and affordable housing options, but such egregious insurance rate proposals only harm KDH families, making homeownership even more difficult. Homeowners will be priced out of the market, or be penalized by being forced to raise their deductible levels in an attempt to offset the requested astronomical insurance premiums. PLEASE JOIN US IN TAKING ACTION by sharing your thoughts through one or more of the following methods: - Email public comments in opposition (include your name and full address) to the N.C. Department of Insurance by February 2nd:2024Homeowners@ncdoi.gov;
- Submit written public comments (include your name and full address) by February 2nd: Kimberly W. Pearce, Paralegal III, 1201 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1201;

2024 Dare County Reentry Permits Now Available Dare County Emergency Management encourages all non-resident property owners as well as business owners to obtain their 2024 reentry permits, which are now available online at DareNC.gov/Reentry To enter Dare County following a mandatory evacuation, individuals must present a current reentry permit along with a valid corresponding ID. Expired reentry permits from previous years will not be accepted. All Dare County residents are welcome to apply for a reentry permit; however, a valid ID that contains a Dare County address is sufficient on its own for local residents. (A reentry permit would be redundant and is therefore not necessary for these individuals to obtain). Reentry permits are issued as a PDF file that is sent via email to applicants with the required credentials and can be obtained via Dare County’s online system at any time. Once they have been issued, reentry permits will expire at the end of the calendar year. Individuals who were issued 2023 reentry permits—with the exception of business owners/managers who have previously been issued permits—will need to apply for a new reentry permit for the current calendar year. For more information and to obtain a 2024 reentry permit from Dare County Emergency Management, please click here. |
