The overall value of the mobile or manufactured home, including any upgrades or additions, can affect the premium.
The materials and quality of construction can influence how resistant a home is to certain types of damage.
Some insurers use an insurance score, which is similar to a credit score but specifically geared towards predicting insurance losses.
Social Facilities: 21 out of 22 at severe risk.
Make sure the policy covers your personal belongings inside the home, from furniture to electronics. Regularly update the inventory of your belongings, as their total value can influence the amount of coverage you need.
Each state, county, town or city has their own set of several laws and regulations that govern the placement and construction of manufactured homes. It is important to work with an insurance provider who is familiar with these laws and can offer you the right coverage accordingly.
It's essential to select an insurance provider with a solid reputation in the industry. Research the company thoroughly, and look for reviews and testimonials from other mobile, manufactured or prefab homeowners in your area.
Your living situation and the value of your belongings can change over time. Periodically review and update your insurance policy, at least annually, to ensure you maintain adequate coverage.
In case of major repairs or if your mobile home becomes uninhabitable, some policies offer coverage for temporary living expenses. Check if this is included or available as an optional add-on.
Some insurers offer special endorsements or riders that can be added to a standard policy to provide additional coverage for specific items or situations. Consider any special valuables or circumstances that might require such endorsements.
To apply for a mobile home title, you need to contact MVD and upload the necessary documents in your AZ MVD Now account.
When completing an affidavit of affixture, you will surrender the title(s) of the mobile home to MVD.
MVD will then issue a receipt for the surrender of the title(s).
If you are buying a used mobile home from a company, business, or mobile home park, make sure to receive a business card or other proof that the person who signed the back of the title as the seller is affiliated with that entity.
The Manufactured Housing Division (MHD) of Arizona’s Department of Housing maintains safety standards for these homes that are consistent with the standards put out by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In addition to regulation from HUD and MHD, every mobile home park has its own set of rules. Most require that you obtain a valid mobile home insurance policy, so check with park management for details.
It is crucial to review your policy and consult with your insurance company to identify what is covered, as well as what is not, before deciding which add-ons, endorsements, or riders to add to your policy.
Exclusions eliminate coverage for certain risks that are considered unwanted or already covered by other policies. Some examples of exclusions include:
Earthquakes are a significant exclusion in mobile home policies in Arizona due to the area’s higher susceptibility to earthquakes. It is important for mobile homeowners to understand the coverage limitations in case of earthquake damage.
Arizona has passed a law that forbids cities and counties from enacting or enforcing breed-based dog regulations. This new law aligns with the trend of 20 other states having “BSL-preemption” laws that restrict Breed-Specific Legislation (BSL) at the local level.
