Mobile home / manufactured home insurance

InsuranceFinder coverage guide · Updated September 2026

Manufactured and mobile home insurance covers factory-built structures, skirtings, tie-downs, and attached additions against fire, high winds, hail, and liability claims. Standard site-built home policies are not designed for manufactured home construction standards.

Mobile / manufactured home coverage breakdown

These forms are written for factory-built homes. What is covered and how settlement works still depends on the policy.

1. Structure / dwelling

Covers the manufactured or mobile home unit itself against covered perils such as fire, wind, and hail, subject to limits and deductibles. How the home is anchored and where it sits can matter to the form.

2. Attached parts & site items

Skirtings, tie-downs, steps, carports, and certain attached additions may be included or scheduled. Confirm what the policy lists for your setup.

3. Personal property

Covers belongings inside the home against covered perils, subject to limits and any special sublimits.

4. Liability & additional living expense

Liability for covered injury or property damage to others, and additional living expense if a covered loss makes the home unlivable — when the form includes those parts.

Who typically uses mobile / manufactured home insurance

Mobile and manufactured home insurance is typically carried by people who own or finance a factory-built home, including homes in parks and on private land. Lenders and park rules often require coverage while a loan or lease is outstanding. A standard homeowners form for site-built houses is usually the wrong fit — the contract and home type decide.

Important mobile / manufactured home exclusions to know:

Flood and earthquake are commonly excluded and may need separate policies when available. Wear-and-tear, poor maintenance, and gradual damage are usually excluded. Moving the home, unlisted structures, and business use can be limited or excluded. Education only — not advice to buy.
