Something that many Silverton homeowners are unaware of is the fact that homeowner policies come in a variety of different types and are categorized by the type of housing you are living in or purchasing.

This quick rundown of housing types will help you understand the various types of homeowners insurance in Texas:

  • HO-3: If you have a normal single-family house, this is the type of insurance coverage you need. It is the most common homeowner policy available today and protects you from all perils unless they are specifically excluded in the wording of the homeowner policy.
  • HO-6: Living in a co-op or condo building is easy and convenient and if you have this type of home, you need a HO-4 policy. It not only protects your personal property in your condo but also provides coverage for the parts of the condo building that you actually own, like the walls and mechanical systems in your unit.
  • HO-8: Historical homes dot the landscape of Silverton and if you and your family are living in an older home, you may need an HO-8 policy. In most cases, a HO-8 policy is put in place because the house doesn't qualify for a HO-3 policy.
    Basically an HO-8 policy is necessary if your home is worth less than the cost to replace it. The major disadvantage to these policies is that they only cover 11 specific perils.
  • HO-4: Renters need protection too and if you are living in an apartment, an HO-4 policy is tailor made for your needs. It will pay to replace your personal property if it is damaged, destroyed or stolen.

In addition, these policies come with liability coverage, which protects you in the event someone is hurt in your apartment. If they decide to sue you, an HO-4 policy will also pay for your legal defense and any resulting settlements or judgments, up to your policy limits.

It is important to calculate your dwelling coverage for your home in Silverton so you know what type of homeowners insurance coverage you need to cover your replacement cost. It is recommended to have enough dwelling coverage to rebuild your home if it was destroyed by a covered peril.

Please remember that replacement cost coverage does not include the cost of the land, only the price to rebuild your home, which is why we like to help customers by answering a few questions that you may have.

What is the average replacement cost coverage in Silverton, TX?

The dwelling coverage is calculated by the average cost per square foot ($129) in Silverton, Texas times your heated square footage. Which would equal the cost to rebuild your home minus the cost of the property or land. Some homes will have a higher replacement cost due to home improvements like updated kitchens and bathrooms. Other upgrades may include: granite countertops, hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. The national square foot average to build a brand new home is around 2500 square feet. So if you are looking to build, and your square footage of your new home is 2500, you are looking at a dwelling coverage premium of around $403,125 (Media price to build of $161 x 2500 sq. ft.) to cover the cost to rebuild your new home.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
