No problem. By the way, the underwriter is Midrox.

Insurance

when the yurt is not on the property of a business or primary residence to include liability insurance is definitely a problem. And one that I hadn't appreciated enough before building. It is frustrating that these things are so regional in this era of online businesses. My best quote last year for yurt, outhouse, and 1 acre of land, fire only, value after depreciation, $5000 liability, was $887/y through Lloyds as the underwriter. In the process of repeating search and adding Midrox as a potential underwriter. I hope others continue to update this feed if they find any other solutions.

I just checked my policy and I pay $295 for the year for $25,000 value of the structure, $10,000 for personal property, $300,000 for personal liability. This basically covers everything except snow-load related issues.

$295 is reasonable. $887 is absurd, imo. $5000 liability? What a joke. $300K that's WAAAAY more like it. I have to carry $1 million in my carpentry business. There aren't enough zeros in the hot shots income when they come shotgunning for you.

[Bob Rowlands]

Sorry. I have a bad attitude about some things. :/

Midrox will not insure out of New York State. Sorry for the typo, the quote I have from Lloyds is 100,000 liability, 5,000 medical. It is a terrible policy. I can't see any other options. Very disappointing.
