Protect what your condo doesn’t


Fill the Gaps Left by Your Condo Association's Insurance

Owning a condo comes with a unique insurance situation. Your condo association typically carries a master insurance policy that covers the building structure and shared areas. However, that policy usually does not protect the interior of your unit or your personal belongings.



That's where condominium insurance (HO-6) comes in. A condo policy helps cover your unit's interior features, personal property, and liability protection-giving you peace of mind whether your condo is your primary residence or a vacation property along the Florida Panhandle.

Protect your condo and belongings

What Condo Insurance Typically Covers


A condo insurance policy protects your personal space inside the building along with your belongings and financial liability.


Interior Unit Coverage (Building Property)

Covers interior structures such as cabinets, flooring, countertops, fixtures, and upgrades inside your unit that may not be included in the association's master policy.


Personal Property Coverage

Helps repair or replace belongings like furniture, electronics, clothing, and household items after covered events such as fire, theft, or certain storms.


Personal Liability Protection

Protects you if someone is injured in your condo or if damage from your unit affects neighboring units.


Loss of Use Coverage

Helps pay for temporary housing and expenses if your condo becomes unlivable due to a covered event.


Loss Assessment Coverage

Many policies include protection if the condo association issues a special assessment after a major loss affecting the complex.

Understanding the Difference Between HOA Insurance and Condo Insurance

Many condo owners assume their monthly association fees include complete insurance coverage-but in most cases, that's not true.

  • HOA Master Policy: Covers the building structure, roof, exterior walls, and shared areas.

  • Individual Condo Policy (HO-6): Covers the interior of your unit, your personal belongings, and your personal liability.

Our agents help review your association's bylaws and master policy so you know exactly what protection you need.
