Florida Condo Insurance – Expert HO-6 Coverage Guide

Secure Your Florida Condo – Get Reliable HO-6 Insurance Coverage Today

Owning a Florida condo offers low-maintenance living, beach access, and amenities—but it comes with unique risks like hurricanes, floods, and shared building issues. Your condo association's master policy covers the exterior and common areas, but it often leaves gaps for your interior unit, personal belongings, and liability claims.

That's where Florida condo insurance (an HO-6 policy) steps in. At Barbee Jackson Insurance, Florida's independent agency with 20+ years of expertise, we help condo owners get tailored condo insurance coverage that fills those gaps affordably.

Understanding Florida Condo Insurance Basics

Florida condo insurance is a specialized HO-6 policy (a type of homeowners insurance) designed for condo owners. Unlike standard homeowners policies, it focuses on what your association doesn't cover: your unit's interior, personal property, additional living expenses if displaced, and personal liability if you're legally responsible for injuries or property damage to others.

Condo insurance required? Not by state law, but many mortgage lenders and condo associations mandate it. Without it, you risk uncovered losses from theft, fire, water damage, or lawsuits.

The Master Policy: What Your Condo Association Covers (The Outside)

Your condo association carries a master policy (required by Florida law under Statute 718.111) that insures the building's structure, exterior, common areas (hallways, pools, roofs, elevators), and shared systems. This protects against major perils like hurricanes or fire to the overall complex.

Common types include:

  • Bare Walls (Studs-Out): Covers up to the drywall/studs; association handles exterior and basic structure.
  • Single Entity (Walls-In): Includes some interior builder-grade items like basic fixtures.
  • All-In: Broadest, covering more interior elements (less common due to cost).

The master policy typically does not cover your upgrades, personal belongings, or liability inside your unit. It may include loss assessment coverage for shared claims, but limits vary—your HO-6 fills the rest.
