Condo Insurance in Florida

Condo insurance protects what your association doesn’t

Condo insurance covers your personal belongings and the interior of your structure — from the walls in. This includes countertops, cabinets, flooring, as well as personal liability coverage and temporary living expenses in the event of a covered loss.

Your condo association will carry a master insurance policy that covers the things they’re responsible for, including the grounds, common areas (such as hallways and elevators), and the outside/physical structure of your condo. In most cases, your personal property and the interior of the condo aren’t covered by the association’s insurance policy.

Common questions about condo insurance
Is condo insurance required by your HOA (homeowners association)?
Requirements will vary per HOA, but a condo insurance policy may not be mandated by your condo association. They may require you to pay dues to help cover the HOA’s master policy. Note that you will need condo insurance if you’re financing your condo.

What if I’m renting a condo?
Just like if you’re renting an apartment or home, it’s wise to carry renters insurance even if it’s not required by your condo association or landlord. Renters insurance is generally affordable and can cover your personal belongings as well as liability claims if you’re legally responsible for someone else’s injuries or property damages.

What’s the difference between condo insurance and homeowners insurance?
Like homeowners insurance, condo insurance covers your belongings, injuries on your property that you are liable for, and temporary living expenses. The main difference, however, is that damage to the outside of your home, including exterior walls and garages, won’t be covered under condo insurance. Also, your condo policy may not offer liability protection against injuries in the common areas (hallways, parking lots, etc.) of your condo complex.

Are townhomes insured like condos?
If you own a townhome that requires membership to a condo association, you may be able to cover your property with a condo insurance policy. However, if you’re responsible for your townhome’s exterior, you’ll need a homeowners policy that insures your unit’s interior and exterior.
