Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about condo insurance in California.
Do I need condo insurance if my HOA has a master policy?
Yes. Your HOA’s master policy only covers the building’s exterior and common areas. It doesn’t cover your personal belongings, interior fixtures, upgrades, or personal liability. Without HO-6 coverage, you’d pay out of pocket for interior damage.
What is loss assessment coverage?
Loss assessment coverage helps pay your share if your HOA levies a special assessment after a covered loss. For example, if a shared roof is damaged and the HOA’s policy doesn’t fully cover it, loss assessment coverage helps with your portion.
How much does condo insurance cost in California?
California condo insurance typically costs between $200–$600 per year depending on your location, unit value, coverage limits, and deductible. Coastal and fire-prone areas may cost more.
What personal property coverage do I need for my condo?
Most condo owners should carry $20,000–$50,000 in personal property coverage. Take inventory of furniture, electronics, clothing, and valuables. Consider replacement cost coverage rather than actual cash value.
