Who is Scott Insurance Services in Clinton?
Scott Insurance Services is an independent insurance agency in Flowood, Mississippi, established in 1954. We serve Clinton, in Hinds County, from that one office, a short drive away. We write auto, home and umbrella insurance for Clinton families, and business insurance for Clinton companies.
We have no office in Clinton. You can reach us by phone or email, and we can meet in person when it helps.
We write for families and business owners, and we can quote your car, your home and your business.
How much car insurance do you need in Clinton?
We write auto insurance for Clinton drivers. Mississippi law sets the floor at 25/50/25 in liability coverage. That means $25,000 for one person's injuries and $50,000 for all injuries in one accident. It also means $25,000 for damage to property. The Mississippi Insurance Department says the minimum may not be enough.
In 2023, about 28 percent of Mississippi drivers were uninsured, the highest rate in the country. Uninsured motorist coverage is for that risk. A Mississippi auto policy must include it unless you turn it down in writing on an approved form. A rejection carries into renewals until you ask for the coverage back in writing. Mississippi is a fault-based state, not a no-fault state. These figures were checked in October 2026.
What do Clinton families insure with us?
We write homeowners insurance and personal umbrella insurance for Clinton families.
The median owner-occupied home in Clinton was valued at $225,800 in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey. Whatever your home is worth, ask whether your policy pays replacement cost, which is what it would cost to rebuild new. Actual cash value takes off for wear and age. Review your limits at every renewal.
An umbrella adds liability limits on top of your home and auto policies. One national carrier, Allstate, for example, asks for $300,000 in home liability before it writes an umbrella. On cars it asks for $250,000 per person and $500,000 per accident for injuries, and $100,000 for property damage. One way to size the umbrella is to cover what you own and what you will earn, including your home and savings.
Does homeowners insurance cover storms and flooding in Clinton?
It covers wind and hail, but not flood. There is no separate hurricane policy. Flood needs a flood insurance policy of its own.
You do not need to live in a floodplain to buy flood insurance. If your home is in a high-risk flood area and you have a government-backed mortgage, flood insurance is required. A flood policy usually starts 30 days after you buy. There is no wait if you buy while making, increasing, extending or renewing a mortgage. If a new flood map puts you in a high-risk zone, the wait is one day when you buy within 12 months of the change. These figures were checked in October 2026.
Mississippi law requires insurers to give discounts for homes built or upgraded to IBHS standards. Insurers have filed discounts of 15 to 30 percent with the state. These figures were checked in October 2026.
What do Clinton business owners ask us for?
We write business insurance across Mississippi from our Flowood office. These are some of the lines Clinton owners ask about.
- Business owners policy for small shops and offices
- General liability insurance for claims from customers and visitors
- Church insurance for congregations
- Contractors insurance for builders and trades

Mississippi requires workers comp once you regularly employ five or more people. Under five, it is optional. Nonprofit charitable, fraternal, cultural and religious organizations, domestic servants, farmers and farm labor are exempt. These figures were checked in October 2026.

Why use an independent agent in Clinton?
An independent agent can quote more than one insurance company, so you can compare rates without any pressure. We also help match the policy wording to how you actually live and work.
Cheaper is not always better. We lay the quotes side by side, so you can weigh price against coverage. The aim is to save money while keeping the coverage you need. If any agent, us included, tells you something is covered, ask for that answer in writing, and ask for an endorsement when it matters.
