INSURANCE FOR CONDOMINIUMS – Basic Condo Owner’s Insurance Information
https://www.trustedchoice.com/condo-insurance/coverage-faq/
Typically, insurance covers damage to the dwelling and your possessions from certain named dangers, such as fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm, hail, riot, civil disturbance, theft, vandalism, smoke, falling objects and damage from aircraft or vehicles. The Insurance Services Office has standardized the following homeowner’s insurance policy forms in general use:
HO-0 – Dwelling Fire Policy Form
- A policy form that provides coverage on a home against fire, smoke, windstorm, hail, lightning, explosion, vehicles, and civil unrest. It does not cover your personal property, personal liability, or medical expenses. It is the type of policy your mortgage lender will buy for you if you let your homeowner policy lapse.
HO-1 – Basic Policy Form
- A basic policy form that provides coverage on a home against 11 listed perils; contents are generally included in this type of coverage, but must be explicitly enumerated. The perils include fire or lightning, windstorm or hail, vandalism or malicious mischief, theft, damage from vehicles and aircraft, explosion, riot or civil commotion, glass breakage, smoke, volcanic eruption, and personal liability. Exceptions include floods, earthquakes. Most states no longer offer this type of coverage.
HO-2 – Broad Policy Form
- A more advanced policy form that provides coverage on a home against 16 listed perils (including all 11 on the HO-1). The coverage is usually a “named perils” policy, which lists the events that would be covered
HO-3 – Special Policy Form
- The typical, most comprehensive form used for single-family homes. The policy provides “all risk” coverage on the home with some perils excluded, such as earthquake and flood. Contents are covered on a named peril basis. (Note: “all risk” is poorly termed as it is essentially named exclusions (i.e., if it is not specifically excluded, it is covered).)
HO-4 – Contents Broad Policy Form
- The Contents Broad, or Tenants, policy form is for renters. It covers personal property against the same perils as the contents portion of the HO-2 or HO-3. An HO-4 generally also includes liability coverage for personal injury or property damage inflicted on others.
HO-5 – Comprehensive Policy Form
- Covers the same as HO-3 plus more. On this policy the contents are covered on an open peril basis, therefore as long as the cause of loss is not specifically excluded in the policy it will be covered for that cause of loss.
HO-6 – Unit-Owners Policy Form
- The policy form for condominium owners. It insures your personal property, your walls, floors and ceiling against all of the perils in the Broad Form.
HO-8 – Modified Coverage Policy Form
- This policy form is for the owner-occupied older home whose replacement cost far exceeds the property’s market value.
Floodsmart.gov has a cool online tool that shows the cost of water damage* to a home. Here is the link, so you can check it out. It is for the national flood service, but any water damage can cause these expenses. Plus, the people here locally that are in flood zones often times do NOT have flood insurance and not all home owner’s policies cover water damage from an outside source.
