Is Property Insurance the Same as Homeowners Insurance?

Property insurance is a general term that refers to a group of policies that serve the purpose of protecting real estate property and its contents or providing liability coverage for the property owners;

homeowners insurance is a type of property insurance that protects homeowners by insuring against damages and losses to the home and its contents and providing liability coverage in case of injuries sustained in the home.

Property Insurance

Property insurance coverage typically covers the physical structure and its contents in case of damage or theft due to burglary, fires or natural disasters. In case a claim is made to the insurer for damage or losses to the home or its contents, the property owner(s) will be reimbursed the actual value of the damaged or stolen item or the replacement cost required for repairs or replacement up to a certain limit.

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover?

In this guide, we’ll explain the nitty-gritty of what is and what’s not covered by a homeowners insurance policy. We’ll cover the specifics and questions that may be of particular concern to you. For example, you may wonder if a typical homeowners insurance policy covers damage from mold, termites, and roof leaks, or whether you’re covered if your dog bites a visitor. We’ll also highlight things that are not typically covered. Finally, we’ll explain the difference between a cash value policy and a replacement cost policy, what to expect when you make a claim, and how long you should expect to wait before receiving payment from your homeowner’s insurance company.

Standard Homeowners Insurance Coverage

A standard homeowners insurance policy provides coverage to repair or replace your home and its contents in the event of damage. That usually includes damage resulting from fire, smoke, theft, or vandalism, or damage caused by a weather event such as lightning, wind, or hail. Other covered damage could come from external forces like a falling tree.

That coverage includes your heating and cooling systems, along with kitchen appliances, furniture, clothing, and other possessions. Coverage for outbuildings on your property, such as a garage, barn, or shed, along with outdoor grills or fireplaces, swing sets, walls, or fences is also included. A swimming pool or other recreational equipment may also be covered, but those higher-risk items may require additional liability coverage.

Property Insurance: Definition and How Coverage Works

Property insurance is a broad term for a series of policies that provide either property protection coverage or liability coverage for property owners. Property insurance provides financial reimbursement to the owner or renter of a structure and its contents in case there is damage or theft—and to a person other than the owner or renter if that person is injured on the property.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Property insurance refers to a series of policies that offer either property protection or liability coverage.
  • Property insurance can include homeowners insurance, renters insurance, flood insurance, and earthquake insurance, among others.
  • The three types of property insurance coverage include replacement costs, actual cash value, and extended replacement costs. READ MORE
