What Does Arlington Homeowners Insurance Cover?

Policies differ depending on the coverage type you buy. You can discuss details and extra insurance considerations with your local agent. These are the common coverage types:

  • Building property
  • Home contents
  • Liability insurance
  • Relocation assistance or “loss of use”

The important concern for many Arlington homeowners may be what typical policies do not cover. Hazards like flood damage, windstorms and earthquakes may not be covered. A local agent can also help you understand your current needs and can find you adequate coverage.

For example, consider the threat of flood damage. Tarrant County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and typical home policies do not cover floods. Your local agent can help you decide if you should add flood insurance to your basic home policy.
