What Is Covered Under Your Condo and Townhome Insurance Master Policy

December 28, 2021

Insuring a condo or townhome is different than insuring a single home because the property is attached to a larger complex. According to AmeriClaims Public Adjuster, there are special considerations to make and certain factors you should know when it comes to townhomes and condo insurance.

Since owning a townhome or condo means that you belong to a larger structure, there are maintenance requirements to account for in most HOAs (Homeowners Associations). There are several common areas that are used by the whole community and these areas also need to be insured. The condo or townhome association takes care of insuring those areas, which is why there are association fees every owner must pay. But keep in mind that personal property and liability within your condo or townhome is not covered by simply paying HOA fees.

Condo Insurance

Condo insurance generally provides coverage on the majority of possessions within your individual unit. A bare walls-in policy covers all real property within a condo, which includes personal possessions, appliances, furniture, and décor items. Those looking for more extensive coverage in their condo can opt for an all-in policy. However, damages to shared amenities, the exterior structure and land all fall under the master HOA policy. Condo owners do not actually own any land, just a certain amount of space within a complex. The risks covered by your condo insurance cover the following:

  • Fire or smoke damage
  • Hailstorm, lightning and high winds
  • Civil unrest or riot
  • Car crash into complex
  • Theft and vandalism
  • Building collapse
  • Falling objects

Townhome Insurance

Townhome insurance extends to all of the areas on the deed. That includes the land outside the townhome in addition to the interior and any balcony. Townhome owners own the land on which their unit is built, which means they need to have liability coverage should someone experience a slip and fall on their premises. The type of association and its specifics will detail what should and should not be covered with individual townhome insurance.

There are some townhomes that have no HOA that provides insurance for common areas and maintenance the way most condo HOAs are set up. In those instances, the same kind of homeowner’s insurance policies for single homes would apply to townhome owners.

In case you live in a higher risk area such as the South Carolina and Florida coasts you will want to make sure your insurance protects against natural disasters. If disaster strikes AmeriClaims can help commercial and residential property owners, including condo owners and townhome owners, through the claims process. A public adjuster will review your policy and make sure you receive exactly what you are entitled to according to your insurance policy.

Americlaims may be the best thing that has ever happened to us. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for our family. Last year, my husband and I bought our first home....and our first night there literally 4 hours into being in our new home, our moving truck was stolen out of our driveway, with all of our belongings in it. We had the clothes on our back, and that was it. We lost everything we have ever owned. My fathers ashes, family heirlooms, wedding photos...not to mention all of our furniture, electronics, checkbooks, college diplomas, clothes, our doctoral white coats...etc I called my home owners insurance company to initiate a claim, and they sent me a blank piece of paper and told me to just write everything down we lost. We didn't even know where to begin. It was overwhelming.Someone told us about public insurance adjusters. And honestly we didn't know that companies like Americlaims existed. But we met with Tonya....and it was the best decision we've ever made. Tonya worked diligently to file our claim. She provided us with all the tools and info we needed to recall what we lost. She helped us itemize, price, and negotiate with our insurance company so that we could be compensated fairly for our losses. She was 100 on our team. It's been almost a year since our theft, and we are just wrapping up with this insurance process. And I just can't thank Tonya and Americlaims enough for all they have done for us. It made a very hectic and stressful time much more manageable. As a newly married couple, they honestly gave us the opportunity to get our life back. Without them we would have had to start over using all of our savings.
