The structure limit. It should equal what it would cost to rebuild at current labor and material prices.
Detached garages, fences, sheds and workshops, often set at 10% of Coverage A by default. Rural and large-lot properties often need more than the default.
Your belongings. A room-by-room photo inventory makes claims faster.

Guest medical coverage that can head off a liability claim.
Hazards Justin homes are exposed to
Denton County lands in the relatively high category of FEMA’s National Risk Index. Among individual perils, the top ratings go to hail (very high), tornadoes (very high) and ice storms (very high). Denton County had 373 hail reports in NOAA’s storm records for 2016 through 2025. Quarter-size or larger stones, an inch and up, appear in 298 of them. The largest reported hail was 5.9 inches on June 15, 2023.
Since Denton 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. Search the FEMA Flood Map Service Center by street address to find your zone.
