Home Insurance in Mississippi
Covers the structure of your home, your belongings, and your liability as a homeowner. What it does not cover — flood, earth movement, wear and tear — is as important as what it does.
What is different in Mississippi
Mississippi runs the full length of a hurricane corridor into one of the most tornado-prone regions in the country, and the coastal counties rely on the Windstorm Underwriting Association for wind. Fire protection class varies enormously between incorporated towns and unincorporated county land, and it moves homeowners premium more than almost any other rating factor in the state.
