Home Insurance in Nevada
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 Nevada
Nevada is among the most seismically active states in the country, and earthquake is excluded from standard homeowners forms. Flash flooding in the Las Vegas valley regularly damages properties well outside mapped flood zones, and wildfire appetite around Reno and the Sierra front has tightened considerably.
