How much does home insurance cost in Utah?

The average cost of homeowners insurance in Utah is $93 a month. This is 42% cheaper than the national average home insurance rate of $159 a month.

When home insurance companies calculate a quote for you, they look at many different factors, including:

  • The age of your home
  • Your ZIP code
  • Materials used for construction
  • Your insurance claim history

When looking for a standard home insurance policy, you'll notice that most companies have similar offerings. The reason why there's such a range of prices for relatively similar coverage is because insurers weigh claim risks differently.

For example, one provider may consider the age of your home a higher risk than another company, leading to a different premium. To get the best coverage for the best price, compare home insurance quotes from multiple providers.

Your deductible also affects how much you pay for home insurance. If you choose a high deductible, you pay a cheaper rate. The table below shows how the average home insurance rate in Utah changes with different deductibles.

Deductible Average annual rate
$500 $1,054
$1,000 $995
$1,500 $948
$2,000 $922
Average rates are based on non-binding estimates provided by Quadrant Information Services. Your rates may vary.

The amount of dwelling coverage you choose for your policy also influences your premium. You want enough dwelling coverage to rebuild your home in the event of a total loss. The table below shows average rates in Utah based on different dwelling coverage limits.

Dwelling coverage limit Average annual rate
$200,000 $995
$350,000 $1,153
