Tell us if it's a second home
About 1 in 8 homes here is held for seasonal or occasional use. A house you don't live in most of the year is usually written as a secondary or seasonal home, with its own rates and rules. If you rent it out, even a few weekends a year, tell us before you list it. Rental use can change which policy the home needs.
Lake homes carry more liability
Guests, swimmers, docks and boats all add liability that a typical neighborhood home doesn't have. Check your liability limit against our guideline, 2.5 times household income or net worth, whichever is greater, and look at an umbrella that extends to your boat.
Manufactured homes are written differently
About 1 in 6 homes in this ZIP is a manufactured home. Carriers usually insure them on a policy or endorsement made for manufactured homes, and the year built matters. Homes built before June 15, 1976 predate the federal HUD construction code, and some carriers won't write them. Have the HUD label number handy when you call.

The median home here is valued at $215,100, land included. On our rebuild calculator, a 1,500 square foot, one-story, builder-grade home on a slab in Stewart County comes to about $339,000. Set the dwelling limit from rebuild cost.

State minimum: 25/50/25
That's $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries you cause, and $25,000 for property damage. Most households need more. Our guideline is liability equal to 2.5 times household income or net worth, whichever is greater.
Every Tennessee auto policy includes uninsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your bodily injury liability, unless the named insured rejects it or picks lower limits in writing. Lower limits can't go below the state minimum. A rejection generally carries over to renewals with the same insurer until you ask for the coverage in writing. If you buy it, you also get the option to add uninsured motorist property damage coverage for your car.

Boat insurance on Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake
On the standard homeowners form, a boat with its motor and trailer is covered for about $1,500, and liability is excluded for most boats with larger motors. A boat policy covers the boat, the motor, the trailer and the liability when something happens at the dock or on the water.
Lake Barkley is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and its shoreline plan allows private docks only in areas set aside for them, each with a Corps shoreline use permit. Kentucky Lake is a TVA reservoir, where a dock needs TVA approval under Section 26a of the TVA Act before it's built. Ask how your policy treats your dock; coverage for it isn't always automatic.
