Flood Insurance in Utah
Flood is excluded from every standard homeowners policy. Coverage comes from the NFIP or a private flood carrier, and most policies carry a waiting period.
What is different in Utah
Utah is a no-fault state and uses an unusual 30/65/25 liability structure. The Wasatch Front sits on an active fault system, and earthquake coverage — excluded from homeowners policies — is materially under-purchased relative to the exposure. Wildfire appetite in the canyon and bench communities has tightened.
