Life Insurance in Provo: what is different here

County
Utah County
Local hazards
  • earthquake exposure
  • mapped flood plains
  • wildfire at the wildland–urban interface
  • snow load
  • hard freezes
  • mountain driving
Housing
Provo stacks up from the Utah Lake floodplain to the Rock Canyon bench: student rentals and divided older homes around BYU in Joaquin and Franklin, brick postwar houses in Grandview, and larger custom homes in Edgemont and the Riverbottoms along the Provo River. Landlord and renters policies are a large share of the work here because of the university.
Driving
I-15 and University Avenue carry the daily commute to Orem, Lehi and the Silicon Slopes offices, and US-189 up Provo Canyon is a year-round mountain road with deer, rockfall and ice. Winter driving on the bench streets and the semester turnover of inexperienced drivers both matter when carriers rate an auto policy in this zip code.

FEMA has been revising the Provo River and Utah Lake floodplain maps, and newer construction west of I-15 can fall inside a special flood hazard area where a lender requires flood coverage. Homes on the east bench below Rock Canyon are in the wildland-urban interface, and the Wasatch fault runs along the same bench.
