Common questions
Home insurance is not required by law but is almost always required by the lender when there is a loan on the property. Even if the home is paid off, you should have insurance for catastrophic losses and personal liability.
You’ll want to have enough dwelling coverage (Coverage A) to rebuild your home if it’s destroyed. That amount can change over time with inflation, cost of materials, and other factors. Insurance companies usually estimate this figure with a “Replacement Cost Estimator”. Details about your home are input and a replacement cost amount is returned.
