Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to questions you may have. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us here.

What types of businesses need property insurance in Harris County?
+
-

In Harris County, virtually all businesses with physical assets need property insurance. This includes retail stores in Houston's Galleria, warehouses near the Port of Houston, office buildings in The Woodlands, and manufacturing facilities in Pasadena. Given Harris County's susceptibility to flooding and hurricanes, even home-based businesses should consider coverage to protect equipment and inventory from natural disasters.

How does Harris County's flood risk affect business property insurance?
+
-

Harris County's flood risk significantly impacts business property insurance. Standard policies often exclude flood damage, necessitating separate flood insurance. The county's Flood Control District has identified numerous flood-prone areas, particularly near Brays, White Oak, and Buffalo Bayous. Businesses in these zones typically face higher premiums and may be required to have flood insurance by lenders or landlords.

What does business property insurance typically cover in Harris County?
+
-

Business property insurance in Harris County typically covers buildings, equipment, inventory, and fixtures against perils like fire, theft, and windstorms. Given the area's climate, many policies include coverage for hurricane damage. However, flood and earthquake coverage usually require separate policies. Some insurers offer Harris County-specific endorsements for risks like mold damage, which is common in the humid Gulf Coast climate.

How can businesses in Harris County reduce their property insurance premiums?
+
-

Harris County businesses can lower premiums by implementing safety measures such as fire suppression systems, security alarms, and hurricane-resistant windows. Participating in the county's floodplain management program can also help. Choosing higher deductibles, bundling policies, and maintaining a claims-free history are effective strategies. Some insurers offer discounts for buildings that meet Houston's stringent post-Hurricane Harvey building codes.

What factors influence business property insurance rates in Harris County?
+
-

Several factors affect rates in Harris County, including location (flood zone status is crucial), building age and construction type, business industry, and coverage limits. Properties in coastal areas like Clear Lake or near bayous may face higher rates. The county's diverse economy means rates vary widely; a high-tech firm in the Energy Corridor might have different rates than a chemical plant in La Porte due to varying risk profiles.

How do Harris County businesses file property insurance claims after a disaster?
+
-

After a disaster, Harris County businesses should immediately document damage through photos and videos, secure the property to prevent further damage, and contact their insurer. Many insurers have catastrophe response teams familiar with Harris County's specific challenges. It's crucial to keep all receipts for emergency repairs and business interruption costs. The Texas Department of Insurance offers resources for Harris County businesses dealing with large-scale disasters like hurricanes.
