Hard-to-Insure Homes in Illinois
If standard carriers won't insure your home in Illinois, for example because of its location, age or condition, the Illinois FAIR Plan is the state's insurer of last resort. It usually costs more and covers less than a regular policy, so it's worth having an independent agent shop the regular market first.
No homeowners policy in any state covers flood. Flood coverage comes from the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood policy, and it's worth pricing even outside a flood zone.
Requirements as of 2026. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with your agent.

Home Insurance in Illinois FAQ
What if no one will insure my home in Illinois?
If standard carriers won't insure your home in Illinois, for example because of its location, age or condition, the Illinois FAIR Plan is the state's insurer of last resort. It usually costs more and covers less than a regular policy, so it's worth having an independent agent shop the regular market first.
Replacement cost vs actual cash value — which should I choose?
Replacement cost. ACV pays you what your stuff is worth today (depreciated), which is rarely enough to actually replace it. Replacement cost pays the full cost to buy new — almost always worth the small premium difference.
Is flood damage covered by my homeowners policy?
No. Flood is excluded from every standard homeowners policy in every state. You need a separate NFIP or private flood policy. We can quote both — call us to find out if your address is in a flood zone.
