Arkansas homeowners have a lot of decisions to make when buying a homeowners insurance policy, including how much their deductible should be. A deductible is an amount for which a homeowner is responsible before an insurance company steps in to cover costs. The deductible that you choose can have a big impact on home insurance rates.
