Even though the cost of home insurance in the Oklahoma City area is similar, the state of Oklahoma actually ranks 48th in the nation for home insurance expense, coming in at 64 percent higher than the national average. This is largely thanks to extreme weather. Oklahoma City is in the heart of a state that sees tornadoes, straight-line winds, hail storms, flooding and even the occasional ice storm.
Despite higher insurance premiums in Oklahoma City, you may qualify for discounts. According to the Oklahoma Insurance Department, many insurance companies offer discounts for having the following:
Discounts can be enticing, but the most important part of homeowners insurance is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your investment is protected. If you are ever faced with a tragedy of losing your home to a fire or tornado, having reliable insurance is critical. In fact, mortgage companies require that you have it.
There are some natural disasters not covered in a homeowners policy. For example, flooding, earthquakes, termite or mice damage and water damage from burst pipes are typically not covered in a standard policy. Unfortunately, there are parts of Oklahoma City prone to flooding, especially in the Deer Creek area and downtown Oklahoma City. To get information about flood protection, visit FEMA's flood insurance program.
In addition to natural disasters, some home liabilities are not covered under a homeowners insurance policy. For example, if someone falls and hurts themselves on a trampoline in your backyard or gets an injury in your swimming pool, you are often not protected against lawsuits. However, you can purchase additional limited liability insurance through your agent for this type of protection.
