Selecting the right coverage may be difficult, but First Community Insurance and Annuity Center can help guide you through the process.

• Dwelling coverage
• Personal property coverage
• Liability protection
• Other structures coverage
• Additional living expenses coverage

Policies may be tailored to include additional coverage options. Our agency can help you learn more about potential policy options.

How Much Home Insurance Do I Need?

Although home insurance is not required by law in Illinois, having coverage is vital. When determining your insurance needs, you will typically want to consider many factors, including your home’s replacement cost, your personal property’s value and how much liability coverage is adequate.

Covering property loss and personal liability-related costs without insurance may be challenging. The First Community Insurance and Annuity Center can help you learn about insurance options and recommendations.

How Is Homeowners Insurance Calculated?

Homeowners insurance rates tend to vary considerably among policyholders. Your insurance provider may use factors such as your claims history, location and home age to calculate the cost of your policy. For example, a homeowner who has never filed a claim and lives in an area with low severe weather risks will likely pay less for coverage than a homeowner who has filed multiple claims and lives in a high severe weather risk area.
