In the state of North Carolina, MetLife Auto & Home requires package only business – the auto must accompany the homeowner policy and
property cannot be written in tier 1 and tier 2 counties (see below for counties). Secondary homes are available with the primary home, and we can write up to 3 landlord dwelling policies with the primary home and auto. We are most comfortable with homes located in protection classes 1-8 but underwriting can approve a home located in a PC9. No home coverage is available in a PC10.
Property cannot be written in the following counties:
Tier 1 counties of: Beaufort, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Hyde, Jones,
New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender and Tyrrell.
Tier 2 counties of: Bertie, Bladen, Chowan, Columbus, Duplin, Gates, Greene, Hertford, Lenoir, Martin,
Perquimans, Pitt, Robeson, Sampson, Washington and Wayne.
We write a GrandProtect® package which is the HE7/21 policy for homes valued at $200,000+
and when the automobile coverage is placed in our top two writing companies. (Our rating system takes care of the placement of the policy in the appropriate writing companies.) We will also write a Combo
SM policy for homes valued below $200,000, and this policy is an HO3. Our minimum dwelling coverage is $100,000. The combo is available in all auto writing companies and allows the policies included to have one bill, one policy number and one effective date. Both the GrandProtect and the Combo policies can include up to 11 lines of business. These can include the home, auto, boat, motorcycle, landlord dwellings, ATV’s, golf carts and personal excess liability policies. We can include up to six cars and seven drivers on our automobile policies. Our personal excess liability policy requires underlying automobile coverage of $100/$300 limits.
