Rancho Mirage Homeowners Insurance Issues

Rancho Mirage is a great place to live, but there are some unique Rancho Mirage homeowners insurance issues that you should be sure to address:

  • High Value Homes. Each of the clubs listed above has homes valued at over $1mm. Homeowners at this level of net worth have unique liability exposures.
  • Multiple Homes. Many Rancho Mirage homeowners live elsewhere in the hot summers. There are significant benefits to consolidating insurance, but to do that your agent needs to be licensed in multiple states.
  • Earthquake. Rancho Mirage is located near the San Andreas Fault so earthquake insurance options should be considered.
  • Wildfire Risk. Rancho Mirage is not exposed to wildfire risk, but certain insurance carriers are pricing large regions of Southern California for elevated wildfire risk regardless.
  • Pools. Pools on golf courses in Rancho Mirage may have different fencing requirements than other parts of the country.
  • Vacation Rentals. Rancho Mirage vacation rentals are subject to licensing, taxes and rules. If you’re renting your house out, you need special insurance.
  • Condo Form. If your free-standing home is legal form condominium and your HOA provides insurance on the structure without earthquake insurance, you can’t get earthquake insurance added to that policy for your individual home.
