FAQ
The sum of the value of all your items is how much coverage you need. Often, the amount of personal property coverage is determined by using 50% of your dwelling coverage limit. For example, if your dwelling coverage is $400,000, you'll have $200,000 in personal property coverage.
Most home insurance providers (us included!) require you to carry a minimum amount of personal property coverage – usually around 10% of your dwelling coverage. This means a home that costs $300,000 to rebuild, typically needs a minimum of $30,000 in personal property coverage. But again – that's just a minimum.
What Is Special Personal Property? Also known as open peril coverage, special personal property endorsement covers your home from all perils except those mentioned as exclusions. It provides wider coverage than the standard home insurance policy.
Homeowners insurance does not cover every type of stolen property. For example, it may not cover expensive jewelry. The value of the jewelry could be too much for the insurance plan.
What is personal property insurance? Personal property coverage can cover your belongings such as furniture, clothing, sporting goods or electronics in the event of a covered loss. You can protect what you own whether items get damaged at your home, an apartment or anywhere in the world.
Personal property limits Your personal property coverage limit is typically 50% of your dwelling limit, though this may sometimes be increased or decreased. Homeowners policies may also have additional coverage limits called sub-limits for specific items like jewelry and firearms.
Personal property depends on a surprisingly simple test: Can you physically move it? The outcome of that test determines the distinction between real property and personal property, which in turn has real implications for taxation.
Avoid Misleading Phrases: Be cautious with your words. Phrases like “I think” or “It might have been” can introduce doubt and ambiguity into your claim. Instead, stick to clear, confident statements that are supported by your evidence and records.
INVENTORY YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS. You can take photos or videos to help you record your belongings, but be sure to also write down descriptions, including year, make, and model numbers, where appropriate. For valuable items, you may want to have an appraisal to determine the item's worth.
