Wisconsin Homeowners Insurance
You might not live exactly like your parents. Why should you insure your home in the exact same manner? Whether you live in a rustic cabin on Chequamegon Bay or in a split-level home outside Milwaukee, with a Farmers FlexSM Personal Home policy, you can choose quality coverage for your lifestyle today, with new ways to help you save.
What is covered by homeowner’s insurance?
A standard Wisconsin homeowners insurance policy typically includes three major types of coverage: dwelling coverage, which helps pay to repair or rebuild your home if it’s damaged or destroyed by a covered, sudden, accidental event; personal property coverage, which helps pay to repair or replace your belongings; and liability coverage, which helps in case you’re financially responsible for injury to others or damage to their property for incidents covered by the policy.

The new Farmers FlexSM Personal Home policy in Wisconsin gives you three highly customizable packages as a starting point:
- Standard - Basic coverage for an affordable price

Is home insurance mandatory in Wisconsin?
No. Home insurance is not mandatory in Wisconsin, at least not by law. But if you have a mortgage on your home, your lender will almost always require you to have home insurance to protect their investment. Wisconsin home insurance can provide coverage for covered losses to help you protect your home if a big storm or another disaster hits, or you are at fault for someone else’s injury or damage to their property.
