What Is Homeowners Insurance?
A homeowners insurance policy is a binding agreement between you and your home insurance company. In exchange for your premiums, your insurer agrees to provide coverage for personal liability claims and property damage from covered perils.
Most homeowners insurance policies typically include the following coverages:
- Personal liability coverage may pay for costs (e.g., lost wages, medical bills, legal fees) associated with claims that you caused property damage or bodily injury to a third party.
- Dwelling coverage may cover property damage to the structure of your home by a covered peril.
- Other structures coverage may pay for repairs or replacements after covered events to detached structures on your property (e.g., detached garage, gazebo).
- Personal property coverage may pay to repair or replace your personal possessions if they are damaged or destroyed due to a covered peril.
- Additional living expenses may pay for your living expenses (e.g., meals, hotel stays) if covered property damage forces you to leave your home temporarily.
Structural damage to your home or personal property damage that occurs as a result of flooding is not usually covered under a homeowners insurance policy. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, you could benefit from a separate flood insurance policy.

Is Homeowners Insurance Required?
Homeowners insurance isn’t mandated by law. However, many mortgage lenders will require proof of home insurance in order for you to receive a loan. Even when home insurance is not required, many homeowners purchase it to protect themselves from out-of-pocket costs associated with rebuilding their home or replacing their possessions.
How Much Does Homeowners Insurance Cost?
Your home insurance premiums will vary with numerous factors. When determining the cost of insuring your home, your insurance company may consider the following variables:
- Home characteristics (e.g., age, building materials)
- Location
- Coverage limits and amounts
- Claims history
Insurance Options for Mobile Homes
If you own a factory-built home (e.g., mobile, manufactured), you will likely need to purchase a specialized type of property insurance, known as mobile home insurance. Mobile home insurance typically includes many of the same coverages as home insurance (e.g., liability coverage, personal property coverage, dwelling coverage). But due to the structural differences between the two types of homes, insurance companies generally prefer to insure mobile homes under a policy that accounts for the different risks they face.
