A six-step plan for insuring a Huffman home
- Pull your property record. Insurers often check the appraisal district record, so confirm that what the Harris district shows at www.hcad.org matches your home. Its office is at 13013 Northwest Frwy. Houston, TX 77040-6305.
- Set the dwelling limit from rebuild cost. The median owner-estimated home value in the ZIP code area around Huffman (ZCTA 77336) is $276,500. That is close to the Harris County median of $276,600. Market value includes land and location, so it is not the same as the cost to rebuild; insure the dwelling to a replacement-cost estimate instead.
- Pick deductibles with local storms in mind. Harris County had 143 hail reports in NOAA’s storm records for 2016 through 2025. Stones of one inch or more showed up in 119 of the reports. On January 8, 2016, observers reported hail as large as 2.5 inches. Price both a flat and a percentage wind/hail deductible before choosing.
- Sort out windstorm coverage. Since Harris 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.
- Look at flood separately. Flood insurance for unincorporated areas is handled through Harris County, which participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. Across Harris County, 206,279 residential NFIP policies were in force, roughly 1 for every 6 homes. Policyholders in the county have filed 66,161 NFIP claims since 2016. Remember that flood is excluded from homeowners policies and NFIP coverage usually starts 30 days after purchase. Search the FEMA Flood Map Service Center by street address to find your zone.
- Compare quotes on equal terms. Use identical limits and deductibles across quotes so price differences are real. Request Huffman quotes from several carriers through one form.
