Florida condo insurance
Florida condo insurance for owners, landlords and associations.
Updated · Reviewed by Nymble Insurance LLC, a licensed Florida agency
Florida condo insurance has two layers: the association's master policy covers the building, and your unit-owner (HO-6) policy covers what the master policy doesn't, plus your belongings, liability and loss assessments. Nymble Insurance LLC places HO-6 policies for every use, from primary homes to Airbnb units, vacant units and renovations, and association master policies.
- HO-6 for owners, landlords and short-term rental hosts
- Vacant units and builders risk for renovations
- Association master property, liability, D&O and crime
Who pays for what after damage in a Florida condo?
Florida law makes the association insure the building, including many fixtures, on a replacement cost basis. Unit owners generally insure interior finishes, improvements, belongings, liability and loss assessments. Your declaration of condominium decides the exact line, so read it alongside the master policy before choosing HO-6 limits.
What is an HO-6 policy?
An HO-6 is a condo unit-owner policy. It covers the parts of the unit the association does not insure, such as flooring, cabinets and upgrades, plus personal property, liability, loss of use and loss assessments. Florida law requires unit-owner policies to include at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage.
