Common risks for Oklahoma homeowners
As an Oklahoma homeowner, you’ll likely face several risks. Here’s what you need to know about insuring your home against them.
Tornadoes
A standard homeowners policy covers damage from wind, including tornadoes. However, review your coverage details carefully. Some policies may have a separate deductible for wind damage. (A deductible is the part of an insurance claim you’re responsible for paying.)
For example, your policy may have a $1,000 deductible for most claims and a 1% deductible for wind claims. So if your house has $250,000 worth of dwelling coverage, you’d have to pay for the first $2,500 of wind damage yourself. Choosing a higher deductible for wind damage can reduce your overall premium, but you’ll want to be sure you can afford it if disaster strikes.
Learn more about home insurance and tornadoes.
Flooding
Even if you don’t live in a flood plain, heavy rains can cause flash flooding. Since most standard homeowners insurance policies don’t cover flood damage, you may want to buy separate flood insurance. Keep in mind that while you can purchase flood coverage anytime, there is typically a 30-day waiting period before the policy takes effect.
Not sure if you’re at risk for flooding? You can look up your address on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood maps. However, FEMA’s maps don’t always capture all types of flood risk, so you may also want to check the website of the nonprofit First Street Foundation, which models climate risks. Enter your address in the top left corner to see your home’s flood risk rating on a scale of 1 to 10.
Hail
While your homeowners insurance will likely cover hail damage, there may be restrictions. For example, the policy may pay only for damage that affects how your home functions, not for cosmetic damage. You may also have a higher deductible for hail claims. Check your policy or contact your agent for exact coverage details.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes can significantly damage homes and property, including foundations, walls, roofs and HVAC systems. A standard homeowners policy typically won’t cover earthquake damage. As a result, at-risk Oklahoma homeowners may want to consider earthquake insurance.
Oklahoma insurance department
The Oklahoma Insurance Department oversees the state’s insurance industry and provides consumer resources such as homeowners insurance rate comparisons and shopping tips. The Oklahoma Insurance Department is also where you can file a complaint against your insurance company online, by mail or by fax. If you have insurance questions, you can call the agency’s Consumer Assistance Division at 800-522-0071 or 405-521-2828.

Homeowners insurance rates methodology
NerdWallet calculated median rates for 40-year-old homeowners from various insurance companies in the 25 largest cities in each U.S. state by population. All rates are rounded to the nearest $5.
Sample homeowners were nonsmokers with good credit living in a single-family, two-story home built in 1984. They had a $1,000 deductible and the following coverage limits:
$300,000 in dwelling coverage.
$30,000 in other structures coverage.
$150,000 in personal property coverage.
$60,000 in loss of use coverage.
$300,000 in liability coverage.
$1,000 in medical payments coverage.
We made minor changes to the sample policy in cases where rates for the above coverage limits or deductibles weren’t available.
We changed the credit tier from “good” to “poor,” as reported to the insurer, to see rates for homeowners with poor credit.
These are sample rates generated through Quadrant Information Services. Your own rates will be different.
Star rating methodology
NerdWallet’s homeowners insurance ratings reward companies for customer-first features and practices. Ratings are based on weighted averages of scores in several categories, including financial strength, consumer complaints, coverages, discounts and online experience. These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews. Read our full homeowners insurance rating methodology.
Complaint methodology
NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2021-2023. To assess how insurers compare with one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, NerdWallet calculated a similar index for each insurer, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary, over the three-year period. NerdWallet conducts its data analysis and reaches conclusions independently and without the endorsement of the NAIC. Ratios are determined separately for auto, home (including renters and condo) and life insurance.
