Car InsuranceMequon drivers need more than Wisconsin's 25/50/10 minimums. Learn what coverage protects your assets in this affluent Milwaukee suburb.
While Wisconsin's average home insurance cost is $1,172 annually, Mequon homeowners typically pay $1,800 to $2,500 or more due to higher property values. Homes requiring $500,000 to $750,000 in dwelling coverage will see premiums significantly above the state average. Your exact cost depends on your home's replacement value, coverage limits, deductible, and discounts.
Market value is what your home would sell for—currently around $567,203 median in Mequon. Replacement cost is what it would cost to rebuild your home from the ground up, which can be higher due to construction costs ranging from $250 to $400+ per square foot in Ozaukee County. Your insurance should cover replacement cost, not market value.
Most of Mequon isn't in a high-risk flood zone, but flood damage can happen anywhere and isn't covered by standard home insurance. If you're near the Milwaukee River, in a low-lying area, or want extra protection, consider a flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer. Premiums in low-to-moderate risk areas are typically affordable.
At minimum, your dwelling coverage should match your home's full replacement cost—get a professional estimate to determine this accurately. Consider extended or guaranteed replacement cost coverage for 25% to 50% extra protection. Personal liability should be $500,000 to $1 million or supplemented with an umbrella policy. Personal property should cover your belongings with scheduled endorsements for high-value items.
The average 35.77% increase in assessed property values signals that construction costs and property values have risen significantly. This means your existing coverage limits may no longer be adequate to rebuild your home. Review your policy immediately and adjust your dwelling coverage to reflect current replacement costs, not what you purchased the home for years ago.
Common valuable endorsements include extended replacement cost (25% to 50% buffer above dwelling coverage), scheduled personal property for jewelry, art, and collectibles, water backup coverage for sewer and drain issues, equipment breakdown for HVAC and appliances, and increased limits for detached structures and trees if you have extensive landscaping or outbuildings.
