Property Manager insurance in Nebraska — FAQ
Do property managers need insurance?+
Yes. The main policies property managers need are professional liability and workers' comp.
How much does property manager insurance cost?+
A typical property manager can expect to pay general liability runs $300–$650 per year, professional liability $350–$1000, workers' comp $1000–$3000 depending on payroll, and commercial auto $600–$1400 per vehicle. Total annual premiums for a small operation usually range from $1,500 to $8,000 depending on coverage choices, revenue, and number of employees.
Is workers' comp required for property managers?+
Yes, in nearly every state — once you have W-2 employees. Texas is the only state where workers' comp is optional. Even sole-proprietor property managers often carry it because the physical nature of professional-services work makes injuries common.
What does general liability cover for a property manager?+
General liability covers third-party bodily injury and property damage — for example, if a customer is injured on site or you accidentally damage a client's property. It does not cover your own injuries or professional errors (those need workers' comp and professional liability).
Does my personal auto insurance cover my property manager business?+
No — personal auto policies typically exclude business use. If you drive a vehicle for work (transporting equipment, visiting clients, making deliveries), you need a commercial auto policy.
