- Coverage extends to pools and spas, provided they meet code

Our liability insurance options start as low as $7 per month, per property for $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate limits of liability.
How much vacant property insurance coverage do I need?
Vacant property insurance provides coverage in an event of a loss at the property while it’s vacant. The amount of coverage will depend upon requirements from your lending institution, your exit strategy in the event of a total loss, and your appetite for risk. After you request a proposal, an agent will discuss with you how much coverage you need as each situation is unique. You can request a proposal or call 888.741.8454 to discuss your proposal with one of our licensed insurance professionals.
How much does vacant property insurance cost?
Insurance costs for vacant properties vary greatly based on coverages you chose to carry, deductible, where your property is located, and the size of your portfolio. With us, you can insure your tenant-occupied property at $75 per square foot to obtain Actual Cash Value coverage with no coinsurance and $120 per square foot for Replacement Cost coverage. Because of our monthly reporting form, you can pay for coverage monthly, never overpaying for vacant property insurance.
Do I need to cancel coverage when I get tenants?
If you occupy the property with tenants, let us know and we can continue coverage with no interruptions. If you sell the property, cancel coverage with no minimum earned premiums. Our monthly reporting form allows you to make changes and cancel coverage at any time.
