Congrats on becoming a homeowner—that’s a huge accomplishment. Fire insurance is included in most
homeowners insurance
policies, meaning there won’t be an additional fee.
Homeowners insurance covers you for whatever perils are named on the lease.
Named perils
are sudden, unexpected events that cause damage or losses to your home, property, and possessions. Fire is one of the most common named perils and will show up on almost any homeowners insurance policy.
That means the price of your fire insurance will just be the price of your homeowners insurance. The average cost of homeowners insurance in the United States is $1,387 per year or $115 per month.
