What You Should Know About Nevada Home Insurance
Although home insurance is not required in Nevada, doing without it can be devastating. Most people think disaster only strikes others, not them. But neglecting your Nevada home insurance purchase can leave you financially indigent, so going without this protection is simply not worth the risk.
You may purchase several types of Nevada homeowner's insurance policies. Common offerings generally include four classes: basic, broad, special and comprehensive. Costs vary, with basic form being the least expensive and broad form the most, depending on the number of damages covered and price.
Each package protects you against a specific number of "perils" such as fire, theft, vandalism and hail, as well as four additional types of coverage: property damage, medical payments, personal liability and additional living expenses protection.
Each type of policy carries its own exclusions and specifications. Speak with a licensed Nevada home insurer to determine what type of policy is appropriate in your situation.
Please note: If you finance your home, your mortgage lender may specify a certain amount of Nevada home insurance you must purchase. However, you may choose your own insurance company, with no obligation to use the company recommended by your lender.
What Affects Your Home Insurance Price
The amount you pay for your Nevada home insurance is made up of a "base rate" plus or minus varying amounts, depending on the following factors:
- Your home's construction and age
- Your home's location
- Your home's replacement cost and the amount of insurance you carry
- Your credit history
- Your claims history
The extent of influence these elements have on your Nevada homeowner's insurance premium varies, but a licensed Nevada home insurance agent can help you determine your own base rate. You can then subtract this rate from your final premium quotations to decide which Nevada home insurance company has the best rate to offer you.
Choosing a Deductible
Your deductible is the amount you must pay out of pocket for each Nevada home insurance claim you make. This amount must always be paid before your home insurance policy will kick in and pay any remainder.
The higher you set your Nevada homeowner's insurance deductible, the less your insurance policy will cost. However, keep in mind that this means you'll have more immediate, out-of-pocket expense in case of emergency.
Creating a Household Inventory
A household inventory is simply a list of all your possessions, their worth and any accompanying details further identifying them. It is important to keep just such a list in a safe place in order to ensure sufficient Nevada homeowner's coverage and eliminate claims problems in the event of a disaster.
To make a household inventory, first make a list of each room in your house. Then walk through each room, listing its contents and writing down any supporting information. Include complete descriptions, estimated values, sales prices, serial numbers, brand names, model numbers—any identifying details.
Be specific! Take pictures if you are able and record your inventory on a computer disk, storing all supporting documents together in a safe place outside your home. Then, in the event of a loss, simply send a copy of this information to your Nevada home insurance company or agent.
Be prepared for disaster before it strikes. Create a home inventory today!
Flood Insurance
Flood insurance is required only in special Nevada flood hazard areas. Although this coverage is not a part of your Nevada home insurance policy, it is offered by the federal government under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Contact the NFIP online at www.fema.gov to find out if flood insurance is required for your property, or ask your Nevada home insurance broker.
