Home Insurance in Bulverde, TX

Only your lender can require it; Texas itself does not. If the home is paid off, the choice is yours, but one serious storm or fire can cost far more than years of premiums.

Flood is not part of a homeowners policy; it is bought separately through the NFIP or a private insurer. Bulverde participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, and its current flood map took effect in September 2009. Only about 1 in 42 Comal County homes carries NFIP coverage. New NFIP policies usually take 30 days to start.
