Home Insurance in Cleburne, TX

No Texas law requires it, but mortgage lenders almost always do, and they can buy costly force-placed coverage if your policy lapses.

Homeowners policies exclude flood, so it takes a separate NFIP or private flood policy. Cleburne is an NFIP community, and its current flood map took effect in September 2023. Its Community Rating System Class 8 rating lowers NFIP premiums for many residents. In Johnson County, about 1 in 124 homes has an NFIP policy. Buy early, because NFIP coverage generally starts 30 days after purchase.
