Fort Collins Insurance Agency
Fort Collins combines a huge student rental market around CSU, historic Old Town homes, and serious wildfire exposure in the canyons west of town, where the High Park and Cameron Peak fires burned. We shop more than 100 carriers so your Larimer County coverage fits how you actually live and own here.
College town and canyon country
Fort Collins runs on rentals and historic homes, and the foothills west of town carry some of the largest wildfire scars in state history. We match coverage to the property, whether it is a CSU rental, an Old Town Victorian, or a home near the canyons.
- Landlord and student rentals: CSU drives a deep rental market; we write dwelling-fire and landlord policies with loss of rents and tenant liability.
- Historic Old Town homes: older construction needs ordinance-or-law coverage and an honest replacement cost; we add the coverage cheap quotes skip.
- Canyon wildfire exposure: homes toward Poudre Canyon, Rist Canyon, and the foothills face wildfire risk after High Park and Cameron Peak; we place homes standard carriers decline.
- Poudre River flood: the Cache la Poudre and its tributaries flood; home policies exclude it, so we quote standalone flood where the maps call for it.
- Hail and wind: Larimer hail is real if generally less severe than the southern Front Range; we still set roof terms that protect you.

A rental-heavy market
With CSU, Fort Collins has one of the highest renter shares in the state. Owners need landlord or dwelling-fire coverage, not a homeowner policy, and tenants need renters coverage. We set up both correctly.
Foothills wildfire
The canyons west of Fort Collins carry heavy wildfire risk after the High Park and Cameron Peak fires. Standard carriers nonrenew interface homes, and we work specialty markets that will write them.
Old Town and code
Historic Old Town homes must be rebuilt to current code after a loss. Ordinance-or-law coverage pays that gap, and we make sure it is on the policy.
Fort Collins insurance FAQs
I rent my Fort Collins property to students. What policy do I need?
A landlord or dwelling-fire policy with loss of rents and liability, not an owner-occupied home policy. Student rentals see more turnover and wear, so the right form and limits matter. We write single rentals and portfolios.
Can you insure a home near the canyons west of Fort Collins?
Usually yes. Foothill and canyon homes carry wildfire risk after the High Park and Cameron Peak fires, and standard carriers often decline or nonrenew them. We work specialty wildfire markets and can credit defensible space and a fire-resistant roof.
My Old Town home is over 100 years old. How should it be insured?
Historic homes need ordinance-or-law coverage so a covered claim pays to rebuild to current code, plus an accurate replacement cost and attention to old wiring and roofs. We build the policy around the actual home.
Do I need flood insurance in Fort Collins?
If you are near the Cache la Poudre River or its tributaries, very likely. Home policies exclude flood. We check the flood maps for your address and quote a standalone policy when it is warranted.
Is hail a concern in Fort Collins?
Yes, though it tends to be less severe than the southern Front Range. We still set roof coverage and deductibles to protect you, review the roof-payment basis on older roofs, and quote a wind/hail deductible buydown when the deductible bites.
A carrier nonrenewed my foothills home. Can you help?
Yes. Wildfire-driven nonrenewal is common west of Fort Collins and usually is not about your record. Placing homes that standard carriers have dropped is something we do regularly.
