The changes, which are statewide averages and vary based on individual risk, take effect on Feb. 16, 2026.
SURE, the second largest homeowners insurer in Louisiana, writes roughly 8% of the market. Elevate is a Goosehead-exclusive insurer. SURE and Elevate are member-owned coastal homeowners insurance providers. Both are owned by Novel Financial Holdings.
The company said its decreases are primarily driven by a reduction in reinsurance costs.
