Storm climate
Why Minnesota sees so many storm claims
Minnesota's short but intense June–August severe season brings large hail, derecho-strength straight-line winds, and frequent tree-strike damage. Its claim deadline is among the tightest in the country. Across Minnesota's 87 counties, the roofs most exposed to hail and damaging wind see the heaviest claim volume during the spring and summer severe season.

Minnesota claim deadline
Filing deadlines & deductibles in Minnesota
Reporting: Minnesota: report promptly. Minnesota's standard fire-policy language (Minn. Stat. 65A.01) sets tight timelines, so don't delay notice.
Deadline: General guidance: under Minnesota's standard policy language, suit on a property claim generally must be brought within 2 years after the loss. This is shorter than many states, treat 2 years as a hard planning deadline and verify your policy.
Deductibles: Minnesota hail policies commonly use a separate wind/hail deductible, often a percentage (1%–2%) of dwelling coverage.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Minnesota Department of Commerce (mn.gov/commerce). For the full picture, read our claim time limits by state and roof deductibles guides.
