Wind & Hail Deductibles on the Rise—Why Comparing Carriers Matters

When Kansas winds roar, you shouldn’t face unexpected out‑of‑pocket costs. Across Sublette and nearby counties, many insurers adjust deductibles based on home value or ZIP‑level risk. Instead of accepting one carrier’s terms, you can work with an agent who helps you compare options and, if appropriate, facilitate a policy change.

The deductible landscape

Percentage‑based vs. flat: Some plans tie deductibles to a portion of dwelling value; others still offer flat‑rate options.

ZIP‑specific adjustments: Properties in hail‑prone areas may face higher thresholds.
