Auburn
Home insurance in Auburn
Auburn spans King and Pierce counties, from newer subdivisions in Lakeland Hills and Lea Hill to older homes on the valley floor where the Green and White rivers meet. Newer homes price differently from older ones, and the valley floor brings flood and lahar questions most policies exclude.
Newer homes in Lakeland Hills and Lea Hill
Short answer: Newer construction often rates favorably because roofs, wiring and plumbing are modern — but replacement cost still needs to reflect current building costs, not the original purchase price.
HOA neighborhoods may have rules about fences, roofs and exterior repairs that affect how you rebuild. Keep your HOA documents with your policy.
Valley floor: flood and Mount Rainier lahar zones
Short answer: USGS lahar hazard maps include parts of the White River valley that reaches Auburn. Lahar and flood are generally excluded from homeowners policies; flood coverage is bought separately.
Check the address against the FEMA flood map and the USGS Mount Rainier hazard maps, and ask us to price flood with your homeowners quote.
