Condo insurance 101:

Now that you have purchased a condominium, you have automatically become a member of the Orchard Villas Condominium Unit Owners Association.  In the Declaration and Bylaws, the duties of the Association and how the development will be administered, are explicitly defined.  One defined duty of the Association is providing insurance.  In the Declaration an entire section, Article VIII, is devoted to the responsibility of the Association and a unit owner regarding insurance.

The Association, as a common expense, must provide insurance for “the Buildings and all other improvements on the property and all personal property included in the Common Elements”.  The specific types the Association must provide are:
                      a) Fire and extended coverage
                      b) Public Liability
                      c) Fidelity Bonds
                      d) Officers’ and Directors’ 

Since the buildings and common elements are covered by the Association “master policy” the unit owner must then consider their personal requirements and needs from the sheet-rock walls inward.  The owner’s insurance agent is the best person to advise the owner and the owner should provide the agent with a copy of the Declaration.  

The Declaration requires the unit owner to carry a liability policy for $1,000,000 and proof of this insurance needs to be provided to the Association.   A copy of your insurance declaration page must be sent to Grandchester Meadows immediately after closing and annually on renewal.  

Not required, but recommended for the unit owner is the policy referred to as an HO-6.  This policy may cover personal property, additional living expenses, condominium assessments, and the required personal liability.  This policy starts coverage where the “master policy” ends. The Association is responsible for insurance coverage for your building up to the unfinished interior perimeter walls, but not including the air conditioner, furnace or hot water heater. The unit owner is responsible for interior wall and floor coverings, finishing work, all plumbing fixtures, cabinets, appliances, heating and air conditioning systems, hot water heater, etc.

To determine unit owner’s coverage amount, owners need to look at 3 unique components. The first two components are considered “part of the condo unit” – the replacement cost of unit and any upgrades / components owners leave when moving out – such as hardwoods, cabinets, countertops, etc.  The third component covers the items you will take with you when you move – i.e, your personal property. 

Use these guidelines to work with your insurance agent to develop your condo policy.
