The average cost of homeowners insurance in Oregon is $114 per month for a policy with $300,000 in dwelling coverage, Insurify data shows. Oregon homeowners pay less for home insurance than the U.S. national average of $212 per month for the same coverage.

USAA, Amica, and Chubb are some of the best home insurers in Oregon.
Travelers has the cheapest home insurance in Oregon, with an average monthly premium of $88 for a $300,000 dwelling coverage policy.
If your Oregon home is at risk of flooding, you can buy a policy from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private insurance company.

What homeowners should know about insurance in Oregon
Oregon homeowners face unique risks that can cause property damage. While standard home insurance policies can cover some of these risks, many homeowners need additional coverage for more complete protection.
Here are some of the perils that you should be aware of as an Oregon homeowner, and how they can affect your insurance needs.
Flooding
Certain areas of Oregon are more prone to flooding than others, but flooding is possible across the entire state. In fact, the NFIP has determined that all 36 counties in Oregon have some level of flood risk.[6]
Standard home insurance policies don’t cover flood damage, so you’ll need to get a separate policy if you want flood coverage. You can get flood insurance through the NFIP or some private flood insurers.[7]
Earthquakes
Oregon is at risk for major earthquakes caused by the Cascadia Subduction Zone located near the coast. It’s possible that a 9.0+ magnitude earthquake originating in this zone could strike Oregon and cause a tsunami of up to 100 feet.[8]
Regular home insurance policies don’t cover earthquakes. Most policies also exclude coverage for other types of earth movement, like landslides and mudslides. If you want earthquake coverage, you’ll need to add earthquake insurance as a home insurance endorsement or buy it as a separate policy.
Wildfires
Homeowners in Oregon should be aware of the high risk of wildfires in the state. While wildfires are a natural occurrence, especially in the state’s “dry forests,” climate change has been accelerating the severity of wildfires in Oregon.[9]
Standard home insurance policies cover damage from wildfires. If a fire damages or destroys your home or personal belongings, your policy will cover the cost of rebuilding your home and replacing your items. It’ll also cover loss of use if your home is uninhabitable and you have to temporarily relocate.
How much homeowners insurance do you need in Oregon?
Homeowners insurance isn’t a legal requirement in Oregon, but most mortgage lenders require it as a condition of your loan. Before you purchase a policy, it’s important to understand exactly what your home insurance covers and check for exclusions.
In general, you should have enough dwelling insurance to cover the cost of restoring your home to its original condition after a total loss. Choose a personal property coverage limit that matches or exceeds the full value of the items you own. Making a home inventory can help you pick an appropriate coverage limit and will come in handy if you need to file a claim.
You should have enough liability coverage to protect your personal assets in a lawsuit, including real estate, savings, vehicles, and investment accounts. For additional living expenses insurance, make sure you have enough coverage to pay for temporary living expenses, like a hotel, parking, and restaurant meals. You can use this coverage if your home becomes uninhabitable after a covered event.[10]
