If your Buckeye renewal in Ohio came in higher, this is the source: Buckeye filed for a rate increase (SERFF BUCK-134682744) and it was approved at +3.0% on about 5,780 policyholders, effective December 1, 2025. The figures below are approved filings pulled from the public SERFF system — not estimates — and every one links to its filing.
Buckeye asked for more than it got.
The filing shows an indicated need of +3.5% — the increase Buckeye’s own actuarial analysis said it required — against the +3.0% it actually took. That gap matters for what comes next: a carrier that took less than it indicated has an unclosed gap, and the remainder often arrives in a later filing rather than disappearing.
Other Ohio insurers are cutting.
An increase is only worth acting on relative to the alternatives, and in Ohio the direction is not uniform: Shelter (−16.9%) and American Modern (−2.4%) both filed decreases in the same period. A Buckeye increase alongside competitor cuts is the clearest signal there is that the market has moved and your renewal has not.
