Home Insurance in Lampasas, TX

State law does not require it. Your lender will, though, and if coverage lapses the lender can place a policy for you that usually costs more and covers less.

Homeowners policies exclude flood, so it takes a separate NFIP or private flood policy. NFIP coverage is available because Lampasas is a participating community, and its current flood map took effect in June 1982. Only about 1 in 77 Lampasas County homes carries NFIP coverage. Most NFIP policies begin after a 30-day wait, so do not wait for a storm forecast.
