Vacant property insurance
Protect your property and investment
If you’re the owner of a vacant property in Montana, you already know it’s not as simple as letting it sit until the next big move. Whether your building is between tenants, undergoing renovations, or awaiting sale, empty properties are magnets for unexpected trouble. Fires, vandalism, burst pipes, and even liability issues can pop up—and unfortunately, most standard insurance policies don’t cover properties left vacant for extended periods.
Why do you need vacant property insurance?
Vacant buildings are at significantly higher risk for damage and liability claims. With no one around to spot a leaking pipe, stop a break-in, or prevent a small issue from becoming a disaster, you’re left exposed. Traditional homeowners or landlord policies often won’t honor claims after 30–60 days of vacancy.
What vacant property insurance typically covers
- Fire & Smoke: Protects against fire and smoke damage, whether accidental or from vandalism.
- Vandalism: Covers intentional damage such as broken windows, graffiti, and more.
- Theft: Appliances, copper pipes, HVAC units—anything left behind is vulnerable to theft.
- Water Damage: Unnoticed leaks or burst pipes can lead to mold and costly repairs.
- Weather-Related Damage: Storms, wind, hail, and fallen trees are all included in most plans.
- Liability Coverage: If someone trespasses and gets injured, you could still be liable—this protects you
