Turning the Sandy Oaks numbers into coverage choices
- Since Bexar 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.
- Homes outside city limits fall under Bexar County’s NFIP participation, so federal flood policies are available. Only about 1 in 129 homes in Bexar County carries an NFIP policy (4,411 residential policies). Bexar County has produced 275 NFIP claims from 2016 on. A homeowners policy will not pay for rising water; flood is a separate policy, and NFIP coverage typically takes 30 days to begin.
- 1998 is the median year built for housing units in Sandy Oaks. The split is roughly 6% pre-1980 construction versus 43% built from 2000 on. For homes in this age range, carriers mostly focus on the roof: its age, material and any prior hail repairs.
