Is Homeowners Insurance Included in the Mortgage Payment?

Homeowners have numerous tasks to manage, such as obtaining homeowners insurance and ensuring timely mortgage payments. Many homeowners are curious about the connection between their insurance premiums and mortgage payments, making it essential to understand this relationship.

Homeowners Insurance

These risks can include damage from fire, theft, vandalism, severe weather and liability for accidents on your property. When you buy a home, your lender will typically require you to purchase a homeowners insurance policy to safeguard their investment financially.

Home Insurance and Mortgage Payments

Homeowners insurance is not automatically included in your mortgage, but it may have the ability to be added to your mortgage payment through an escrow account established by your lender. When you obtain a mortgage for a house, your lender typically requires you to purchase home insurance to safeguard their investment. If you have an escrow account, your home insurance premiums may be combined with mortgage payments and costs for private mortgage insurance and property taxes.

Speak with your lender or insurance agent to learn more about this potential arrangement.

Escrow Account Basics

An escrow account is a financial arrangement in which a third party (typically the lender) manages funds on behalf of the borrower. Think of it as a specialized savings account for property-related costs. Under some arrangements, a specified amount is set aside in the escrow account as part of your monthly mortgage payment to cover various expenses, including property taxes, homeowners insurance and sometimes private mortgage insurance.
