It sure would be a lot easier if all those policies just spoke in simple words, wouldn't it? In home owner's insurance world, "dwelling" means the place where you live, or "your house". It is used to differentiate between it, and any other buildings that might be on the property and covered, like barns, sheds, detached garages, etc. I hope that helps, thanks for asking!Answered on August 29, 2014flag this answer
