FAQ: Hewitt home insurance
Are most homes in Hewitt old or new?
The median home was built in 1994, and about 26% predate 1980, per Census estimates. At this age the roof is the main question, followed by the water heater and supply lines.
Should I insure my Hewitt home for its market value?
Not necessarily. The Census median home value in Hewitt is $273,300, but Coverage A should match the cost to rebuild, which excludes land and can be higher or lower than market value. Ask for a replacement-cost estimate based on square footage and finishes.
Is homeowners coverage mandatory for Hewitt homeowners?
Texas does not mandate homeowners insurance, yet nearly every mortgage requires it. Owners without a loan still carry the full cost of a fire, hail or theft loss if uninsured.
How do I check what the appraisal district has on file for my Hewitt home?
Search your address on the McLennan appraisal district site, www.mclennancad.org. Insurers use similar data, so correct any errors in square footage or year built before quoting.
