Personal Property Coverage

The portion of your homeowners or renters policy that covers your belongings — furniture, electronics, clothing, and more — if they are damaged, destroyed, or stolen. Most policies set personal property coverage at 50% to 70% of your dwelling coverage amount. High-value items like jewelry may need a separate endorsement.
