If you wish to claim insurance and property tax, you are required to limit your employment expenses to the amount of your commission income. 

This link indicates what work-in-home expenses may be claimed by salaried employees.  It specifically excludes home insurance and property taxes.

This link indicates that you can claim home insurance and property taxes if you are claiming as a commissioned employee.  However remember that the total amount of your employment expenses can not exceed your commission income.
