Protecting Your Home with Utah Homeowner's Insurance
Why should I buy Utah homeowner's insurance?
Most people could not afford to rebuild their home or replace its contents if it is destroyed. Utah homeowner's insurance protects your house and its contents from ruin.
If you have taken out a loan to buy your home, your lender may require you to purchase some form of Utah homeowner's insurance to protect their investment until the loan is paid off. Once you have paid back your loan, you may cancel your Utah homeowner's insurance, but doing so puts your home—and your wallet—and great risk for loss.
For most people, Utah homeowner's insurance is a no-brainer. It provides financial protection from life's unplanned calamities.
What types of Utah homeowner's insurance are available?
There are three basic forms of Utah homeowner's insurance. These basic forms are commonly referred to as basic, broad and specialty policies.
Basic:
- Covers your dwelling from 11 basic perils.
- Some basic perils include damage from fire, windstorm, hail and vandalism.
Broad:
- Covers your dwelling from the basic perils plus six more.
- Additional perils include weight of snow and ice, building disintegration and damage from household appliances.
Special:
- Covers your dwelling from nearly all perils.
- Does not cover damage from flood or earthquake.
It is important to note that there may be other forms of Utah homeowner's insurance available, so be sure to ask your agent if there are other policies to better suit your needs.
How can I protect myself from earthquake and flood damage if it isn't covered under my Utah homeowner's insurance?
According to the Utah Insurance Department, there are special programs called "Difference in Condition" (DIC) policies that provide coverage not normally covered in Utah homeowner's insurance, such as earthquake or flood. If you are unable to purchase flood coverage under a DIC policy, you may purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Plan (NFIP) at (800) CALL-FLOOD.
