Maryland Homeowners Insurance
Whether you own a house, condominium or townhouse, for most
people their home is their most important investment. Brown
Insurance Group offers Maryland homeowners insurance policies
that have flexibility to meet your individual needs and above all,
provide you with the security that comes only from the
knowledge that your home is safe.
Insurance for your home is one of the most popular and
important forms of personal insurance and the typical
Maryland Homeowners Insurance policy has two main
sections:
Section I - insurance coverage for your property
Section II - personal liability coverage (to cover you in
case of lawsuits arising from things that happen on
your property)
Homeowners insurance is often required by lenders
to obtain a mortgage and nearly everyone, whether
you own or lease property, should have the protection
of homeowners insurance.

Maryland Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ
Coinsurance Penalty in Maryland Homeowners Insurance Policy
If your policy limit is less than 80% of the replacement cost of your home, you
will face a "coinsurance penalty," which means you'll have out-of-pocket
expenses to cover costs beyond the policy deductible you chose. For example
purposes we will assume your home's estimated replacement value (RCV) is
$100,000. The co-insurance clause requires you carry at least $80,000 (80% of
your RCV). If you chose to purchase only a $40,000 Maryland Homeowners
Insurance policy you would be underinsured by half. Therefore, in the example
the insurance company would pay one-half of a loss less the policy deductible,
so if you suffered a $10,000 covered loss to your house, condominium or
townhouse and had a $500 deductible, your policy would only pay $4,500.

Personal Liability in a Maryland Homeowners Insurance Policy
Personal liability in a Maryland homeowners insurance policy is also an important
part of having security from accidents that may occur on your property. We suggest
you choose coverage limits that are not less than those on other liability insurance
you own, such as car insurance.

Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value Option
in Maryland Homeowners Insurance Policy
Covered losses under a Maryland homeowners insurance policy can be paid on
either a replacement cost basis or on an actual cash value basis. When "actual
cash value" is used, the policy owner is entitled to the depreciated value of the
damaged property. Therefore, the older the item is, the less money you may
receive for it. If you choose the "replacement cost" coverage, the Maryland
homeowners insurance policy will reinburse the amount it costs to replace the
property with something of a similar type and quality at current prices.

All Risks or Named Perils in a Maryland Homeowners Insurance Policy
An "All Risks" policy provides the broadest Maryland homeowners insurance protection
because it will cover losses that are due to any peril except those specifically excluded
in the policy. A "Named Perils" policy covers losses that are due to only those perils
listed in the standard Maryland Homeowners Insurance policy and typically include fire,
hail, windstorm, and other physical losses.
