The short answer

Hot tubs are covered as 'other structures' (Coverage B) or contents (Coverage C) depending on whether they're built-in. Perils covered are the same as the dwelling. Liability for guest injury is usually included but many carriers add a surcharge or require a locked cover / fence. Disclose to your insurer — undisclosed hot tubs can void a liability claim.
