	Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Parent Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), which provides personal and commercial residential insurance; Heritage MGA, LLC, the managing general agent that manages substantially all aspects of our insurance subsidiary’s business; Contractors’ Alliance Network, LLC, our vendor network manager; Skye Lane Properties, LLC, our property management subsidiary; First Access Insurance Group, LLC, our retail agency; Osprey Re LTD; our reinsurance subsidiary that provides a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance subsidiary; and Heritage Insurance Claims, LLC an inactive subsidiary reserved for future development, together referred to as “the Company”.
	Our primary products are personal and commercial residential insurance, which we currently offer only in Florida under authorization from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”). We conduct our operations under one business segment.
	The condensed consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
	For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
	The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company intends to continue to take advantage of some, but not all, of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies until such time that it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company has, however, irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Changes to significant accounting policies
	We have made no material changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Accounting Pronouncements
	The Company describes below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on its financial statements or on its disclosures. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that a) are not anticipated to have an impact on, or b) are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.
	In April 2015, the, Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to Internal-Use Software. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”) which supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which clarifies accounting for share-based payments for which the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. That is the case when an employee is eligible to retire or otherwise terminate employment before the end of the period in which a performance target could be achieved and still be eligible to vest in the award if and when the performance target is achieved. The updated guidance clarifies that such a term should be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2016, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	Subsequent Events
	The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 855-10, “Subsequent Events,” relating to subsequent events. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events. This guidance defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions that may occur would be required to be disclosed in the company’s financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events up to the date of issuance of this report (see Note 18).

	The Company calculates the gain or loss realized on the sale of investments by comparing the sales price (fair value) to the cost or adjusted/amortized cost of the security sold. The Company determines the cost or adjusted/ amortized cost of the security sold using the specific-identification method. The following tables detail the Company’s realized gains (losses) by major investment category for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

	Net investment income, less investment expenses	$	1,633		$	618
	During the Company’s quarterly evaluations of its securities for impairment, the Company determined that none of its investments in debt and equity securities that reflected an unrealized loss position were other-than-temporarily impaired. The issuers of the debt securities in which the Company invests continue to make interest payments on a timely basis and have not suffered any credit rating reductions. The Company does not intend to sell nor is it likely that it would be required to sell the debt securities before the Company recovers its amortized cost basis. All the issuers of the equity securities it owns had near-term prospects that indicated the Company could recover its cost basis, and the Company also has the ability and the intent to hold these securities until the value equals or exceeds its cost.
	The following tables present an aging of our unrealized investment losses by investment class as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	For the Company’s investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, the Company obtains the fair values from its custodian, which uses a third-party valuation service, and we evaluate the relevant inputs, assumptions, methodologies and conclusions associated with such valuations. The valuation service calculates prices for the Company’s investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, then adds final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve as of quarter end. The inputs the valuation service uses in its calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, and therefore represent Level 2 inputs.
	The following table’s present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended and December 31, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, and 3.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs	NOTE 7. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
	The Company defers certain costs in connection with written policies, called Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”), net of corresponding amounts of ceded reinsurance commissions, called Deferred Reinsurance Ceding Commissions (“DRCC”). Net DPAC is amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies.
	The Company anticipates that its DPAC costs will be fully recoverable in the near term. The table below depicts the activity with regard to DPAC during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
		Three Months Ended March 31,

	Ending balance	$	25,843		$	12,226
	The DPAC at March 31, 2015 includes the unamortized portion of $10 million of deferred costs paid during June 2014 in connection with the Company’s assumption of policies from Sunshine State Insurance Company (“SSIC”). Likewise, $1.9 million amortization has been recorded related to the SSIC policy acquisition costs in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The unamortized DPAC cost is $0.6 million related to SSIC at March 31, 2015.

	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $18.2 million of income tax expense which corresponds to an estimated annual effective tax rate of 37.76%.
	The table below summarizes the significant components of our net deferred tax assets/liabilities:
		March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014

	Other		648		655
	Total deferred tax liabilities		13,020		11,770
	Net deferred tax asset	$	5,336	$	6,622
	In assessing the net realizable value of deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that it will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
	No taxing authorities are currently examining any of the Company’s 2014, 2013 or 2012 federal or state income tax returns.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we had no significant uncertain tax positions.

Reinsurance

Insurance [Abstract]
Reinsurance	NOTE 9. REINSURANCE
	The Company’s reinsurance program is designed, utilizing the Company’s risk management methodology, to address its exposure to catastrophes. The Company’s program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes including hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornadoes. The Company’s reinsurance agreements are part of its catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide its stockholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in its property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to the Company’s policyholders.
	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company placed its reinsurance program for the period from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014. The Company’s reinsurance program, which was segmented into layers of coverage, protected it for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company’s previous year’s reinsurance program incorporated the mandatory coverage required by law to be placed with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe reinsurance fund (“FHCF”). The Company also purchased private reinsurance below, alongside and above the FHCF layer, as well as aggregate reinsurance coverage. The following describes the various layers of the Company’s June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 reinsurance program.
		•		The Company’s Retention. For the first catastrophic event, the Company had a primary retention of the first $9 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, of which the Company’s reinsurance subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd (“Osprey”), was responsible for $3 million. For a second and third catastrophic event, Heritage P&C’s primary retention decreased to $3 million per event. To the extent that there was reinsurance coverage remaining, Heritage P&C had no primary retention for events beyond the third catastrophic event. Osprey had no primary retention beyond the first catastrophic event.
		•		Layers Below FHCF. Immediately above the Company’s retention, the Company purchased $94 million of reinsurance from third party reinsurers and Osprey. Through Osprey, the Company retained an aggregate participation in this coverage of $3.5 million, comprised of a 3% participation of $31 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $9 million, or $0.9 million, and a 4% participation of $63 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $40 million, or $2.5 million. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company was able to reinstate the full amount of this reinsurance one time. To the extent that $94.0 million or a portion thereof was exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage.
		•		FHCF Layer. The Company’s FHCF coverage included an estimated maximum provisional limit of 90% of $270 million, or $243 million, in excess of the Company’s retention and private reinsurance of $103 million. The limit and retention of the FHCF coverage was subject to upward or downward adjustment based on, among other things, submitted exposures to FHCF by all participants. The Company purchased coverage alongside and above the FHCF layer from third party reinsurers. The layer alongside was in the amount of $27 million and the layer immediately above was in the amount of $28.5 million. To the extent the FHCF coverage was adjusted, this private reinsurance would adjust to fill in any gaps in coverage up to the reinsurers’ aggregate limits for this layer. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company was able to reinstate the full amount of this private reinsurance one time. To the extent that all or a portion of either of these private layers was exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage. The FHCF coverage could not be reinstated once exhausted, but it did provide coverage for multiple events.
		•		Aggregate Coverage. In addition to the layers described above, the Company also purchased $170 million of aggregate reinsurance coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $401.5 million for a first catastrophic event. To the extent that this coverage was not fully exhausted in the first catastrophic event, it provided coverage commencing at its reduced retention levels for second and subsequent events and where underlying coverage has been previously exhausted. There is no reinstatement of the aggregate reinsurance coverage once exhausted, but it did provide coverage for multiple events.
	For a first catastrophic event, the Company’s 2013 reinsurance program provided coverage for $571.5 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including its retention, and the Company was responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depended on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may had coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. The Company also purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to provide an additional $149.5 million of coverage. The Company’s aggregate reinsurance layer also provides coverage for second and subsequent events to the extent not exhausted in prior events.
	During April 2014, Heritage P&C entered into two catastrophe reinsurance agreements with Citrus Re Ltd., a newly-formed Bermuda special purpose insurer. The agreements provide for three years of coverage from catastrophe losses caused by certain named storms, including hurricanes, beginning on June 1, 2014. The limit of coverage of $200 million is fully collateralized by a reinsurance trust account for the benefit of Heritage P&C. Heritage P&C pays a periodic premium to Citrus Re Ltd. during this three-year risk period. In April 2014, Citrus Re Ltd. issued $200 million of principal-at-risk variable notes due April 2017 to fund the reinsurance trust account and its obligations to Heritage P&C under the reinsurance agreements. The maturity date of the notes may be extended up to two additional years to satisfy claims for catastrophic events occurring during the three-year term of the reinsurance agreements. The Company has determined that, while Citrus Re Ltd. is a variable interest entity, the Company does not have any variable interests in Citrus Re Ltd. Accordingly, consolidation of or disclosures associated with Citrus Re Ltd. are not applicable.
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company placed its reinsurance program for the period from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015. The Company’s reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects it for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company’s current reinsurance program incorporates the mandatory coverage required by law to be placed with FHCF. The Company also purchased private reinsurance below, alongside and above the FHCF layer, as well as aggregate reinsurance coverage. The following describes the various layers of the Company’s June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015 reinsurance program.
		•		The Company’s Retention. For the first catastrophic event, the Company has a primary retention of the first $15 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, of which Osprey is responsible for $6 million. For a second event, Heritage P&C’s primary retention decreases to $2 million and Osprey is responsible for $4 million. To the extent that there is reinsurance coverage remaining, Heritage P&C has a $2 million primary retention for events beyond the third catastrophic event. Osprey has no primary retention beyond the second catastrophic event.
		•		Layers Below FHCF. Immediately above the Company’s retention, the Company has purchased $185 million of reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company is able to reinstate the full amount of this reinsurance one time. To the extent that $185 million or a portion thereof is exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company has purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage. A portion of this coverage wraps around the FHCF and provides coverage alongside the FHCF.
		•		FHCF Layer. The Company’s FHCF coverage includes an estimated maximum provisional limit of 90% of $484 million, or $436 million, in excess of its retention and private reinsurance of $181 million. The limit and retention of the FHCF coverage is subject to upward or downward adjustment based on, among other things, submitted exposures to FHCF by all participants. The Company has purchased coverage alongside from third party reinsurers. The layer alongside is in the amount of $48 million. To the extent the FHCF coverage is adjusted, this private reinsurance will adjust to fill in any gaps in coverage up to the reinsurers’ aggregate limits for this layer. The FHCF coverage cannot be reinstated once exhausted, but it does provide coverage for multiple events.
		•		CAT Bond Layer. Immediately above the FHCF layer is the coverage provided by the reinsurance agreements entered into with Citrus Re Ltd., as described above in this footnote. The first contract with Citrus Re Ltd. provides $150 million of coverage and the second contract provides an additional $50 million of coverage. Osprey provides $25 million of coverage alongside the second contract.
		•		Aggregate Coverage. In addition to the layers described above, the Company has also purchased $105 million of aggregate reinsurance coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $825.0 million for a first catastrophic event. To the extent that this coverage is not fully exhausted in the first catastrophic event, it provides coverage commencing at its reduced retention levels for second and subsequent events and where underlying coverage has been previously exhausted. There is no reinstatement of the aggregate reinsurance coverage once exhausted, but it does provide coverage for multiple events. Osprey Re Ltd. provides $20 million of protection in the layer above $940 million.
	For a first catastrophic event, the Company’s reinsurance program provides coverage for $990 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including its retention, and the Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. The Company has also purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to provide an additional $185 million of coverage. The Company aggregate reinsurance layer also provides coverage for second and subsequent events to the extent not exhausted in prior events.
	Property Per Risk Coverage
	The Company also purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $1 million per claim. The limit recoverable for an individual loss is $9 million and total limit for all losses is $27 million. There are two reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted. In addition, the Company purchased facultative reinsurance in excess of $10 million for any commercial properties it insured that the total insured value exceeded $10 million.
	Assumption Transactions and Assumed Premiums Written
	On June 27, 2014, the Company assumed approximately $58.9 million (representing 33,000 policies in force) of annualized premiums from Sunshine State Insurance Company (“SSIC”). At March 31, 2015, approximately 28,465 SSIC policies were in force representing approximately $49.8 million of annualized premium. The SSIC policies account for approximately 12.9% of the Company’s total policies in force as of March 31, 2015.
	Prior to June 27, 2014, substantially all of the Company’s policies had been obtained in connection with assumption transactions with Citizens, pursuant to which the Company recorded the assumed premiums written in the amount of the unearned premiums transferred to the Company. In connection with each assumption transaction, the Company assumes the responsibility of the primary writer of the risk through the expiration of the term of the policy.
	The following table depicts written premiums, earned premiums and losses, showing the effects that the Company’s assumption transactions have on these components of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income:

There were no amounts receivable with respect to reinsurers at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Thus, there were no concentrations of credit risk associated with reinsurance receivables as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The percentages of assumed premiums earned to net premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 were 50.3% and 63.3%, respectively.

Reserve For Unpaid Losses	NOTE 10. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES
	The Company determines the reserve for unpaid losses on an individual-case basis for all incidents reported. The liability also includes amounts for which are commonly referred to as incurred but not reported, or “IBNR”, claims as of the balance sheet date.
	The table below summarizes the activity related to the Company’s reserve for unpaid losses:
		Three Months Ended March 31,

	Plus: reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses		—			—
	Balance, end of period	$	61,846		$	28,456
	The significant increase in the Company’s reserves for unpaid losses in 2015 from 2014 is primarily due to the increase in policy count.
	The Company writes insurance in the state of Florida, which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. Although the occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on our monthly or quarterly results, such an event is unlikely to be so material as to disrupt our overall normal operations. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter. The Company believes that the reserve for unpaid losses reasonably represents the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.
	The Company’s losses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 reflect prior year redundancy of $4.5 million and deficiency of $32,000, respectively, due to changes in the Company’s estimate of ultimate losses on claims incurred in prior years not attributable to any specific trend or claims handling dynamic.

Text Block [Abstract]
Statutory Accounting and Regulations	NOTE 11. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING AND REGULATIONS
	State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers such as our insurance subsidiary. The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-based capital, they restrict insurers’ ability to pay dividends, the Company specify allowable investment types and investment mixes, and the Company’s subject insurers to assessments.
	The Company’s insurance subsidiary, Heritage P&C, must file with the insurance regulatory authorities an “Annual Statement” which reports, among other items, net income and surplus as regards policyholders, which is called stockholder’s equity under GAAP. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s insurance subsidiary recorded statutory net income of $12.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company’s insurance subsidiary is domiciled in Florida, and the laws of that state require that the Company’s insurance subsidiary maintain capital and surplus equal to the greater of $15 million or 10% of its liabilities. The Company’s statutory capital surplus was $194.1 million and $172.7 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. State law also requires the Company’s insurance subsidiary to adhere to prescribed premium-to-capital surplus ratios, with which the Company is in compliance.
	In 2014, the Florida legislature passed Senate Bill 1308, which was signed into law by the Governor. Among other things, this bill incorporates the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) recommendations with regard to expansion of the regulation of insurers to include non-insurance entity affiliates. Specifically, the new law permits the FLOIR to examine affiliated entities within an insurance holding company system in order to ascertain the financial condition of the insurer. The law also provides for certain disclosures with regard to enterprise risk, which are satisfied by the provision of related information filed with the SEC. This legislation was designed to bolster regulation for insurer solvency and governance and became effective January 1, 2015.

Stock-Based Compensation	NOTE 17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company has adopted the Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective on May 22, 2014. The Plan has authorized 2,981,737 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan for future grants.
	At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 1,295,814 shares available for grant under the Plan.
	The Company recognizes compensation expense under ASC 718 for its stock-based payments based on the fair value of the awards. The Company grants stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates the options are granted. The options have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and vest primarily in equal annual installments over a range of one to five year periods following the date of grant for employee options. If a participant’s employment relationship ends, the participant’s vested awards will remain exercisable for the shorter of a period of 30 days or the period ending on the latest date on which such award could have been exercisable. The fair value of each option grant is separately estimated for each grant date. The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the award and each vesting date. The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton multiple-option pricing valuation model (“Black-Scholes model”). The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense.
	Stock Options
	On September 24, 2014, the Company granted 359,000 options to certain employees and directors. No stock options were granted in 2013 or 2012. These options were awarded with the strike price set at the fair market value at the grant date, and vested March 15, 2015 with an expiration date of September 24, 2017. The fair value of each option grant, which was $2.70 per option granted in 2014, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.
	On December 2, 2014, the Company granted 1,326,923 options to certain employees and directors. The employee options were awarded with the strike price set at the fair market value at the grant date. Fifty percent of these options were immediately vested and 50 percent on April 30, 2015, and these options expire on December 2, 2017. The directors’ options were awarded with the strike price set at the fair market value at the grant date, and vest quarterly commencing on January 1, 2015 with an expiration date of December 2, 2017. The fair value of each option grant, which ranged from $3.07 to $3.54 per option granted in 2014, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.
	The following table provides the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes model for options granted on September 24, 2014 and December 2, 2014. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

	A summary of information related to stock options outstanding at March 31, 2015 is as follows:

	The Company had approximately $0.5 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense at March 31, 2015 related to non-vested compensation, which the Company expects to recognize ratably over the period of 0.4 years. The Company recognized $1.4 million of compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
	During April 2015 (closed April 8, 2015), Heritage P&C entered into three catastrophe reinsurance agreements with Citrus Re Ltd., The agreements provide for three years of coverage from catastrophe losses caused by certain named storms, including hurricanes, beginning on June 1, 2015. Heritage P&C pays a periodic premium to Citrus Re Ltd. during this three-year risk period. Citrus Re Ltd. issued $277.5 million of principal-at-risk variable notes due April 2017 to fund the reinsurance trust account and its obligations to Heritage P&C under the reinsurance agreements. The Class A notes provide up to $150 million of coverage; the Class B notes provide $97.5 million of coverage, and the Class C notes provide $30 million of coverage. The Class B and Class C notes provide reinsurance coverage for a sliver of the catastrophe coverage that had previously been provided by the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund. The limit of coverage is fully collateralized by a reinsurance trust account for the benefit of Heritage P&C. The maturity date of the notes may be extended up to two additional years to satisfy claims for catastrophic events occurring during the three-year term of the reinsurance agreements. The Company has determined that, while Citrus Re Ltd. is a variable interest entity, the Company does not have any variable interests in Citrus Re Ltd. Accordingly, consolidation of or disclosures associated with Citrus Re Ltd. are not applicable.

	Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Parent Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), which provides personal and commercial residential insurance; Heritage MGA, LLC, the managing general agent that manages substantially all aspects of our insurance subsidiary’s business; Contractors’ Alliance Network, LLC, our vendor network manager; Skye Lane Properties, LLC, our property management subsidiary; First Access Insurance Group, LLC, our retail agency; Osprey Re LTD; our reinsurance subsidiary that provides a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance subsidiary; and Heritage Insurance Claims, LLC an inactive subsidiary reserved for future development, together referred to as “the Company”.
	Our primary products are personal and commercial residential insurance, which we currently offer only in Florida under authorization from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”). We conduct our operations under one business segment.
	The condensed consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
	For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
	The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company intends to continue to take advantage of some, but not all, of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies until such time that it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company has, however, irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.
Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Pronouncements
	The Company describes below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on its financial statements or on its disclosures. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that a) are not anticipated to have an impact on, or b) are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.
	In April 2015, the, Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to Internal-Use Software. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”) which supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which clarifies accounting for share-based payments for which the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. That is the case when an employee is eligible to retire or otherwise terminate employment before the end of the period in which a performance target could be achieved and still be eligible to vest in the award if and when the performance target is achieved. The updated guidance clarifies that such a term should be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2016, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events
	The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 855-10, “Subsequent Events,” relating to subsequent events. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events. This guidance defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions that may occur would be required to be disclosed in the company’s financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events up to the date of issuance of this report (see Note 18).
