Home Insurance in Oregon
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 Oregon
Oregon requires PIP and uninsured motorist coverage on every auto policy. The 2020 Labor Day fires reshaped property appetite across the Cascade foothills and the wildland-urban interface, and Cascadia subduction zone earthquake exposure is excluded from homeowners policies and written separately.
