A condo owner calls and says: “I have HOA insurance—do I still need my own policy?” It’s one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is almost always yes.
The reason is simple: HOA master policies vary, and there’s often a gap between what the building covers and what the unit owner is responsible for—especially when upgrades, interior finishes, or assessments are involved.
The three buckets we care about
- Your stuff (personal property)
- You as a person (liability)
- Your unit’s interior (improvements / betterments, depending on the HOA policy)
How we make it simple
If you have it, we’ll review the HOA master policy summary (or key pages). If you don’t, we’ll start with typical scenarios and refine as we learn more. The goal is not to make you a policy expert—it’s to make sure the coverage lines up with responsibility.
