Home Insurance, Weather-Related Auto Costs Top Property Taxes in 75% of U.S. Counties

Homeowners insurance alone costs more than property taxes in roughly two-thirds of U.S. counties, and adding weather-related auto coverage raises the share to 75%, increasing pressure on household budgets. County-average homeowners insurance premiums rose 45% over the past decade after inflation. Nebraska recorded a 79% increase. Across counties, property insurance averages 14% more than property taxes. Including the weather-related portion of auto premiums raises the combined insurance burden to 30% above property-tax bills. The broader comparison counts only auto premiums tied to weather, not full auto coverage.
