No, in most cases, homeowner’s insurance is not tax deductible. However, if you are self-employed and claiming a home office deduction, or if you’re renting out the property you’re insuring, you may be able to write off a prorated portion of your homeowner’s insurance.

While homeowner’s insurance premiums are not tax deductible, it is important to note that private mortgage insurance (PMI) payments could be. If you have a rental property, you may be able to deduct PMI payments from your taxable income.
