Protect your home with top-rated coverage that could save you money.
When we say "home insurance" or "homeowners insurance," we're referring to House & Property insurance.
Outside of Florida & Louisiana, Kin offers House & Property insurance, which has a base policy that provides coverage similar to landlord insurance. Homeowners who live in their home can add an owner-occupied endorsement to create coverage similar to an HO3 policy.
Whether you do it yourself online or speak with one of our friendly representatives over the phone, Kin makes it easy to find coverage.

The average annual cost for home insurance in Texas is $4,786 according to the latest data available from the Consumer Federation of America. Coverage in El Paso is generally lower than in most major cities in Texas due to its relatively dry climate, low risk of hail, and fewer natural disaster claims.
However, your premium will depend on several factors unique to you and your property. Get a quote to determine how much you’ll pay for home insurance in El Paso.
While El Paso is less storm-prone than other Texas cities, insurers still evaluate several key risk factors:
Age and construction quality of your home
Roofing material and resistance to high winds or fire
Proximity to fire stations and hydrants in your ZIP code
Claims history in the neighborhood or on the property
Crime rates related to vandalism or burglary
Materials used in home construction, such as stucco vs. brick
You’ll want a policy that reflects local construction costs and protects the full scope of your property:
Dwelling coverage. Should be high enough to cover the cost of rebuilding if your home is destroyed.
Other structures coverage. Applies to detached structures, such as garages, fencing, or patios, and is often set to 10% of your dwelling insurance. Evaluate your property to determine if you need more coverage.
Personal property coverage. Usually starts at 50% of your dwelling limit, but you may need more. A detailed home inventory can ensure you're covering the true value of your belongings.
Liability insurance. Should be robust enough to shield your real estate holdings, financial accounts, and retirement assets in case of a legal claim.
Medical payments coverage. Covers guest injuries on your property, even if you're not legally at fault. It’s usually set to $1,000 or $5,000.
Although policies cover many perils, there are some standard exclusions El Paso homeowners should know about:
Flood damage
Damage from pests, including termites and rodents
Earthquake or land subsidence
Most instances of mold or rot
Damage caused by neglect or poor maintenance
Given El Paso’s dry climate and risk of soil shifting or drought-related damage, the following optional policies may be worthwhile:
Flood insurance if your property is in a flood-prone area
Extended replacement cost to account for material inflation after a disaster
Ordinance or law coverage for bringing repairs up to code
Water backup protection for homes with basements or older plumbing
Texas does not require homeowners to carry insurance by law, but lenders financing a mortgage will typically require it as a condition of the loan. Although El Paso is less vulnerable to natural disasters than many parts of the state, maintaining homeowners coverage is a smart investment that protects your financial well-being against fire, theft, liability lawsuits, and other unexpected events.
