Common risks for Arizona homeowners

Here are some things to keep in mind when buying home insurance in Arizona.

Floods

Arizona might not be the first state you think of when you picture flooding, but it happens, especially during the monsoon season between June and September. Dry ground can quickly become oversaturated, resulting in a flash flood.

If your home is damaged in a flash flood, your homeowners insurance generally won’t pay for repairs. Instead, you’ll need separate flood insurance. Most people get coverage through the federal government’s National Flood Insurance Program, but you can also shop around with private providers. Learn more about private flood insurance.

To check your flood risk, start by looking 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. You may want to check another source, like First Street, a private company that models climate hazards. Enter your address at the top of the page to see your home’s flood risk rating on a scale of 1 to 10.

Earthquakes

Most homeowners insurance policies won’t cover earthquake damage. You’ll need to buy earthquake insurance to cover damage to your home caused by earth movement.

Wildfires

Homeowners insurance usually covers damage from fire, including wildfires. Make sure you have enough dwelling coverage to rebuild your home, as fire can destroy your home.

Arizona department of insurance

The Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions oversees Arizona’s insurance industry. You can file a complaint against your insurer or look up an insurance agent’s license on the department’s website. You can call the agency at 602-364-3100.

As of June 30, 2023, Arizona law will not permit insurers to limit or deny coverage based on the breed of dog you have. However, they can still refuse to insure a dog with a history of biting or other aggression.


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, coverage, discounts, claims process and website functionality. 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 or star ratings.

Here’s how we weighted each category to come up with our list of the best home insurance companies:

  • Consumer experience (40%).

  • Financial strength (30%).

  • Coverage (25%).

  • Discounts (5%).

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.

In states where credit is a rating factor, 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.

Complaint methodology

NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2022-2024. 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.
