How do you define dream house? You might’ve chosen a Spanish-style hacienda on your favorite golf course, a center-hall colonial in a great school district, or a perfectly restored mid-century modern. Your home is a major investment, but — more than that — it’s where you raise a family, entertain friends and create lifelong memories.
Whether you live in the perfect starter house, a custom-built dream home or something in between, one thing is true: You want to protect the life you’ve made there.
Farmers Smart Plan Home®
Farmers Smart Plan Home policy uses three highly customizable packages as a starting point:
Designed for homeowners who are just starting out, the Standard package balances affordability with features that really matter. This package also makes it easy to choose higher limits for a few unusually valuable items.
Within each of these packages, you have tremendous flexibility — you can raise or lower limits in virtually every type of coverage, and add or change coverage. Your Farmers agent can show you how each change will affect your premium.

*The Premier package isn’t available in California. Please ask your agent about the Farmers Next Generation® package there.
Industry-leading standard homeowners insurance features
No matter which package you choose, your Farmers Smart Plan Home policy automatically provides these added features at no additional cost:
Declining Deductibles®
Earn $50 toward your deductible each year your policy remains in-force.*
Claims Free Discount®
Receive a discount if you’ve been claim-free for three or more consecutive years — even if you’ve recently come to Farmers from another insurer.
Claim Forgiveness
If you’ve been claims-free with Farmers for five continuous years, this benefit prevents your premium from increasing as a result of your next claim.
Here are some typical situations in which Farmers homeowners insurance can help:
There’s a fire in your kitchen
Risk:
You act quickly and prevent a grease fire from getting out of control, but smoke damages the counters and cabinets in your kitchen.
Coverage:
Property coverage in your policy can help if your house is damaged by fire and/or smoke.
Thieves strike while you are away
Risk:
You return from a family vacation to discover thieves have stolen electronic equipment from your media room.
Coverage:
If your possessions are stolen, damaged or destroyed in an insured loss, your coverage can help replace them, up to the policy’s stated limits.
A visitor is injured
Risk:
A guest at your annual Fourth of July barbecue trips on the steps between your deck and the lawn — fracturing his wrist when he falls against a stone retaining wall.
Coverage:
Medical payments coverage can cover the medical costs if a visitor is hurt on your property, regardless of liability.
A tornado hits
Risk:
You heard the warning sirens and escaped uninjured, but you can’t live in your house while tornado damage is repaired.
Coverage:
Coverage for additional living expenses can help with the extra cost of temporary relocation caused by a covered event.
Losses away from your home
Instance where your homeowners insurance could help:
Your jewelry is stolen
Risk:
You mastered the basics of surfing during lessons in Hawaii — but your wedding ring is stolen.
Coverage:
With personal possessions coverage, lost jewelry is covered up to your policy limits.
You lose your passport
Risk:
While on vacation in Europe, you lose the tote bag that has everyone’s passports.
Coverage:
Your homeowners policy can help with the cost of replacing passports and other valuable papers.
Optional coverage that’s popular with homeowners
Homeowners policies generally cover valuable items like jewelry, artwork and collectibles — but
usually at relatively low limits. With personal articles floaters, you can insure specific valuables at higher limits.
