As of July 1, 2025, North Carolina requires minimum liability coverage of $50,000 per person for bodily injury, $100,000 per accident for total bodily injury, and $50,000 per accident for property damage (50/100/50). You must also carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage at the same limits. These requirements apply to all policies issued or renewed after July 1, 2025.
Albemarle homeowners pay an average of $1,019 per year for $200,000 in dwelling coverage, or about $1,561 annually for $400,000 in coverage. These rates are significantly lower than North Carolina's statewide average of $3,237 because Albemarle's inland location reduces exposure to hurricanes and coastal flooding. Popular carriers like SageSure average around $762 per year in Albemarle.
Uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage protects you when you're hit by a driver who has no insurance or insufficient coverage to pay for your injuries and damages. As of July 2025, North Carolina requires this coverage on all new and renewed auto policies because it ensures you're protected even when other drivers aren't. The elimination of liability setoff means you can now collect from both the at-fault driver's policy and your own UIM coverage without reductions.

The county also offers a Circuit Breaker Tax Deferment Program that can significantly reduce your property tax burden.
Albemarle has four local insurance agencies that serve the community. Using a local agent is beneficial because they understand regional risks specific to Stanly County, know which carriers offer the best rates for your zip code, and can provide personalized service when you need to file a claim. Local agents are also more accessible for in-person meetings and can help you navigate complex coverage decisions based on your specific situation.
While the new 50/100/50 minimums are better than before, many insurance professionals recommend higher limits if you own significant assets like a home. Medical bills from serious accidents can easily exceed $100,000, and a single at-fault accident causing major injuries could result in a lawsuit that threatens your savings and property. Consider 100/300/100 coverage or higher, plus umbrella insurance if you have substantial assets to protect.
