Replacement cost vs. market value
Why rebuilding cost, not sale price, is what a dwelling limit is meant to track.
Areas we serve
Insurance in Litchfield
In Litchfield the conversation often involves land as well as a house, and farm coverage works differently from a standard homeowners policy.
Working with Litchfield customers
Dassel State Insurance Agency serves residents and businesses in Litchfield. Our office is in Dassel, and we work with customers throughout Minnesota.
Where there is a farm, an acreage or outbuildings involved, a standard homeowners policy is often not the right instrument on its own. Farm policies are built to handle dwellings, outbuildings, machinery, farm personal property and liability together, and how they are structured depends a great deal on how the property is actually used.
Where we usually start
- Farm insurance for farm homes, outbuildings, machinery, farm personal property, livestock and liability
- Home insurance where the property is residential rather than agricultural
- Auto insurance, including vehicles used around a farm
- Business insurance where an operation has employees, equipment or contracts
- Personal umbrella liability above eligible underlying policies
Telling us how the property is used is the part that matters most. A hobby acreage, a working farm and a rented-out field are three different insurance conversations.
