Homeowners Insurance in Nebraska

From the Sandhills to the streets of Omaha, your Nebraska home deserves reliable protection. Homeowners insurance through GEICO Insurance Agency helps cover your home and belongings against unexpected events like fire, theft, and certain weather-related damage. You’ve worked hard for your home—make sure it’s backed by coverage you can count on.

How Homeowners Insurance Works in Nebraska

Nebraska homeowners insurance protects your home’s structure, your personal belongings, and your financial well-being if accidents happen on your property. A standard policy through GEICO Insurance Agency typically includes coverage for your house, detached structures like garages or sheds, personal property, and liability in case someone gets hurt on your property. You can also add options like flood or earthquake coverage to fit your needs.

Is Homeowners Insurance Required in Nebraska?

Homeowners insurance is not legally required in Nebraska, but if you have a mortgage, your lender will almost always require it to protect their financial interest in your home. So even though the state doesn’t mandate it, most homeowners end up carrying coverage to meet lending requirements.

While Nebraska has no unique state mandate for homeowners insurance, it’s wise to carry adequate coverage given local risks like wind, hail, and occasional tornado damage. Even if you own your home outright, going without coverage could leave you vulnerable to unexpected losses.

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover in Nebraska?

A standard homeowners insurance policy through GEICO Insurance Agency helps protect more than just your house—it covers many of the things that make your home your own, including:

  • Dwelling Coverage: Helps pay to repair or rebuild the physical structure of your home if it’s damaged by a covered peril like fire, wind, or hail.
  • Personal Property: Covers your belongings, like furniture, electronics, and clothing, if they’re stolen or damaged by a covered event.
  • Liability Protection: Provides coverage if someone is injured on your property or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property, helping cover legal fees or medical bills.
  • Additional Living Expenses (Loss of Use): If your home becomes unlivable due to a covered loss, this helps pay for temporary housing and other extra costs while repairs are being made.
  • Other Structures: Covers detached structures like garages, sheds, and fences that are on your property but separate from your main home.

Other Types of Coverage Available to Homeowners in Nebraska

While a standard homeowners policy offers solid protection, Nebraska residents may want to consider additional coverage for risks that aren’t included, such as:

  • Flood Insurance: Standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover damage from flooding. If you live in an area prone to heavy rain or near a floodplain, a separate flood policy can help protect your home and belongings.
  • Umbrella Insurance: Adds an extra layer of liability coverage above the limits of your homeowners policy. Umbrella insurance through GEICO Insurance Agency is available to homeowners insurance policyholders.
  • Earthquake Insurance: Nebraska may not be a hotspot for earthquakes, but they can still happen. Earthquake coverage can help pay for repairs if your home or possessions are damaged during a quake.

Average Cost of Homeowners Insurance in Nebraska

The cost of Nebraska homeowners insurance depends on factors like your home’s age, size, construction materials, safety features, and location. Your coverage limits, deductibles, and claims history also influence rates. In areas with higher weather risk, like regions prone to hail, windstorms, or tornadoes, premiums may increase to reflect that added exposure.
