Turning the Fair Oaks Ranch numbers into coverage choices
- Since Comal County is not a TWIA county, look at how your homeowners policy handles wind and hail, including whether that deductible is a flat amount or a percentage of the dwelling limit.
- Because Fair Oaks Ranch is an NFIP participating community, homeowners can buy National Flood Insurance Program coverage. The effective FEMA flood map for the community is from December 2010. NFIP data counts 1,500 residential flood policies in Comal County, about 1 for every 42 homes. Comal County has produced 50 NFIP claims from 2016 on. Remember that flood is excluded from homeowners policies and NFIP coverage usually starts 30 days after purchase.
- 2002 is the median year built for housing units in Fair Oaks Ranch. Pre-1980 houses are about 3% of the stock, and post-2000 houses about 54%. Newer construction tends to earn better pricing because roofs, wiring and plumbing are recent, and some carriers add a new-home credit for the first years.

Fair Oaks Ranch coverage questions

FEMA’s National Risk Index rates overall risk in Comal County as relatively moderate. The top-rated hazards are hail (relatively high), tornadoes (relatively high) and inland flooding (relatively high). Flood is the one that needs its own policy; the others are generally covered perils with deductibles.

Is windstorm insurance through TWIA an option in Fair Oaks Ranch?
No. TWIA only writes in the 14 first-tier coastal counties and part of Harris County, and Comal County is not among them. Your homeowners carrier covers wind and hail.
How much dwelling coverage do Fair Oaks Ranch homes need?
Enough to rebuild, which is not the same as market value. Census data puts the Fair Oaks Ranch median at $657,600, but your dwelling limit should equal what it would cost to rebuild the house at today’s labor and material prices.
