The policy from the old state does not move with the furniture
A homeowners or auto policy is written for an address and a garaging ZIP. When you move to Colorado, that contract usually has to be rewritten, not just forwarded. Bind the new homeowners policy before closing so the lender does not force-place one, and put Colorado liability on the cars before you rely on them here. This is not a ranking of places to live, and it does not invent a cost-of-living number.
Hail and wildfire are the two homeowners facts to price before you pick the house. A percentage hail deductible is a percent of Coverage A, the rebuild limit, not the sale price. On a $450,000 dwelling, 2 percent is $9,000. That is an example, not a Front Range quote. Land is not insured. A house on the wildland edge can be one a carrier will not write, even when fire itself is a covered peril. Flood is still not a homeowners peril. Colorado auto’s floor is $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 property damage. Uninsured motorist is optional in Colorado. The old state’s rejection does not fill that in.
The house: Colorado homeowners. What moves the premium after you are here: Colorado homeowners rates. Hail: home and auto hail. Wildfire: Colorado wildfire insurance. The cars: Colorado car insurance laws and options.
