Hazard Insurance

Hazard insurance is coverage that protects a property owner against damage caused by fires, severe storms, hail/sleet, or other natural events. As long as the specific weather event is covered within the policy, the property owner will receive compensation to cover the cost of any damage incurred. Typically, the property owner will be required to pay for a year’s worth of premiums at the time of purchasing the policy, but this practice will depend on the exact details of the policy.
