Homeowners insurance deductibles in North Dakota

One of the many decisions to be made when shopping for homeowners policies is the amount of your deductible. The deductible is the total amount that the insured must contribute toward a covered loss. Where you set your deductible can play a significant role in how much you pay for insurance.

When considering your homeowners deductible, a good rule of thumb is that the lower your deductible, the higher your premiums. This means that those looking for lower insurance premiums will want to think about getting a higher deductible. Be mindful of the fact that your deductible should only be as high as you can reasonably pay in the event of a covered loss.

The following table shows the average premium costs associated with deductibles offered by most home insurers.
