Here at Americas Insurance Associates, we understand that insuring a condo isn&rsquo;t as straightforward as getting a policy for other types of properties.<\/p>\n<p>Condominium associations generally have a policy in place that covers common areas and the building&rsquo;s exterior, but the interiors of your unit aren&rsquo;t covered. This is why having adequate insurance with an outside policy is essential and may even be required by the property association.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does a Condo Insurance Policy in Florida Cover?<\/h2>\n<p>When buying condo insurance, expect a basic policy to include the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u><strong>Dwelling Coverage<\/strong><\/u>&mdash;This includes the unit&rsquo;s interior physical structure that is not included by the community&rsquo;s master policy.<\/li>\n<li><u><strong>Personal Property Coverage<\/strong><\/u>&mdash;All of your belongings in the unit including appliances and furniture can be covered at current or full-replacement value. High-value items may require additional coverage.<\/li>\n<li><u><strong>Personal Liability Coverage<\/strong><\/u>&mdash;Should an injury of a guest in your unit occur or their property is somehow damaged due to your responsibility, this policy covers medical fees and any legal expenses.<\/li>\n<li><u><strong>Additional Living Expenses<\/strong><\/u>&mdash;Should a disaster like a hurricane occur and the unit is not habitable, the policy may pay living expenses, meals, and commuting costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do note that additional policies may be necessary to cover damage due to flooding,&nbsp;earthquakes, seizures, and demolitions by the government.<\/p>\n<h3>Determining How Much Condo Insurance You Need<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, the value of Florida condos varies drastically, with options from the hundreds of thousands up to several million. Some guidelines to determine how much insurance you need include several factors.<\/p>\n<p>Unless your condo is paid off, mortgage providers typically require you to carry at least 20% of the unit&rsquo;s appraised value in insurance. Personal coverage will depend on how many valuables you have. Most minimum liability limits are at $100,000, yet most opt to carry $300,000 or more in coverage.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule A Consultation Today<\/h3>\n<p>At Americas Insurance Associates we serve all of Florida and offer customized condominium insurance for our customers.
