Condo Insurance

You own the inside of the unit; the association owns the building. A condo policy has to start exactly where the master policy stops.

What Is Condo Insurance?

Condo insurance — the HO-6 policy — covers the interior of your unit, your personal belongings, and your liability as a unit owner. The condo association carries its own master policy for the building's structure, roof, exterior walls and common areas. Your HO-6 exists to fill in what the master policy doesn't, which is why you cannot buy the right condo policy without knowing which kind of master policy sits above it.

Why Condo Insurance Matters

Master policies vary. Some are written on a 'bare walls' basis — structural shell only, nothing inside your unit — and others reach further, including original fixtures. That single distinction decides whether your flooring, cabinets and countertops are on your policy or theirs. The master policy also has its own deductible, and some associations pass a share of it down to owners. Loss assessment coverage on your HO-6 is what keeps that surprise letter from landing on you directly.

Who Needs Condo Insurance?

Anyone who owns a condo or townhome under an association, whether it is your home, a lake place near Pickwick, or a unit you rent out. Most lenders require it, but the lender's minimum rarely matches the master policy's gaps — that takes reading both documents.

Coverage Highlights

  • Interior walls, flooring, cabinets and fixtures (per your master policy)
  • Personal property coverage
  • Liability coverage inside your unit
  • Loss assessment coverage for association shortfalls
  • Additional living expenses if you're displaced
  • Master policy deductible review

Local Considerations

Condo coverage only works when two documents meet in the middle: the association's master policy and your HO-6. We sit down with both and map where one ends and the other begins. The same storm questions that come with a house here apply to a unit — wind and hail deductibles, roof age, and whether earthquake and flood are excluded — except the answers are split between you and the association.

Condo Insurance Questions We Actually Get

Straight answers to what people ask us around here.

What is the difference between an HO-3 and an HO-6?
An HO-3 is the standard homeowners policy for a house — it covers the whole structure from foundation to roof. An HO-6 is the condo form. It covers the interior of your unit, your belongings and your liability, because the association's master policy covers the building.
What does the association's master policy cover?
It varies by association, but generally the structure, roof, exterior walls and shared spaces. The wrinkle is how far into your unit it reaches. A bare-walls master policy stops at the studs; others cover original fixtures. Request the coverage summary from your association — it is the only way to know where your policy has to start.
What is loss assessment coverage?
If the association takes a loss bigger than its master policy, or gets held liable for something, the cost can be divided among unit owners. Loss assessment coverage on your HO-6 responds to that bill instead of your savings.
Can you read the master policy with me?
Yes, and we would rather do it before you buy than after a special assessment letter arrives. Bring both documents and we will map where one ends and the other begins.
