Southeast Aurora Colorado
As your local Farmers Insurance agent serving Southeast Aurora, Southlands, and Arapahoe County communities, I’ve helped countless homeowners navigate the complexities of HOA insurance coverage. Let’s break down everything you need to know about protecting your investment in 2025.
Understanding Your HOA Master Policy
Your Homeowners Association (HOA) typically provides a master policy that covers shared spaces and structural components of your community. However, it’s essential to understand what is and isn’t included in this coverage.
Master Policies Typically Cover:
- Common areas and shared spaces
- Building exteriors
- Basic structural elements
- Shared utilities
- Common area liability
What’s Usually NOT Covered:
- Interior fixtures
- Personal belongings
- Individual unit improvements
- Personal liability
- Loss assessment coverage
Essential Personal Coverage for HOA Residents
To ensure complete protection, homeowners should invest in an HO-6 policy, also known as condo insurance, which fills the gaps left by the master policy.
Must-Have Coverage Elements:
- Interior Walls Coverage – Protects improvements and fixtures inside your unit.
- Personal Property Protection – Covers belongings like furniture, electronics, and clothing.
- Liability Coverage – Provides financial protection if someone is injured in your unit.
- Loss Assessment Coverage – Helps pay for your share of HOA damage assessments.
- Additional Living Expenses – Covers temporary housing costs if your unit becomes uninhabitable.
Coverage Amounts to Consider:
- Minimum $25,000 for personal property
- $300,000-$500,000 in liability coverage
- $5,000-$50,000 in loss assessment coverage
