Condo Insurance: Protect What the Master Policy Doesn’t

Condo claims are often confusing because coverage is divided between the association’s master policy and your individual condo policy. This page helps you understand where your responsibility begins and where costly gaps can appear.

Condo Claim Clarity Starts With Understanding the Divide

Many condo owners assume the HOA’s master policy covers everything. Understanding how your policy interacts with the association’s coverage protects you from unexpected financial gaps.

Where Condo Claims Go Wrong

Too many condo owners discover during stress that they:

  • Don’t know what the master policy actually covers
  • Misunderstand “bare walls” vs. “all-in” coverage
  • Overlook improvements and betterments coverage
  • Fail to document interior damage properly
  • Miss special assessment exposure
  • Assume the HOA handles everything

The result?
Coverage disputes. Delays. Unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
