What Factor's Go Into Calculating HOA D&O Insurance?

I'm looking for information about HOA D&O insurance. I'm in CA and was wondering for a small condo complex (5 units) what do insurance companies look at if I want $3M in coverage.

Basically trying to figure out if we are over paying.


Answer: Retroactive date, underlying limits premiums, and prior claims.

Minimum premium for D&O starts at $2500.
 
 

Do HOA Have Insurance For Public Spaces?

Our neighborhood park was burned to the ground in an Act of Vandalism today, and I'm wondering do HOA's have insurance to replace these, I'm trying to reassure my kids it will get rebuilt but, I'm unsure that it will and the local news just reported that it was 50,000 dollars worth of damage.


Answer: Of course.....the policy for common areas are paid out of your month homeowner assoication dues.....or at least they should be. This policy should also covers any injury to a guest or tenant that happens in a common area.

Do I Need Additional Condo Insurance Other Than What I Pay In HOA Fees?

I pay about $800 every three months in HOA fees. Do I need to carry additional condo insurance if I have a mortgage with Countrywide or do I just call them and give them the condo assoc. insurance info?


Answer: As far as the mortgage company is concerned your HOA can send a certificate of insurance to Countrywide. As an insurance agent for many HOA's. I used to do this all of the time.

However you will need your own insurance as well. Your condo association purchases insurance on the building and premises. Broadly speaking there are two approaches condo bylaws take to insure the property.

One approach is the condo association agrees to cover only the exterior and common areas. You are responsible to insure the interior this can include walls, wall coverings, flooring, furnace, appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, kitchen and bath cabinets (basically everything inside

HELP - HOA INSURANCE / PET QUESTION?

HOAs govern themselves and can change too, right? HOA insurance breed restrictions?? If HOAs changed later, would my dog be grandfathered in? And what about HOA Insurance breed restrictions?

I live in Northern CA. I am in the process of losing my home. I am fortunate enough to have some very loving and generous parents who have offered to buy a small condo with a yard (we have already put an offer on a condo this week). I would not be on title... But my parents would OWN the place and we will just pay them every month...

I am a very responsible dog owner. My dog is CGC (Canine Good Citizen trained, recognized by the AKC), neutered pitbull, he has completed 5 obedience


Answer: NONE of the insurance companies cover property at all, for anything, if there is a pit bull on the property. It is not "some". You name one that allows them...you will not be able to find one.

Their policy seems to allow them, most ghetto areas do because they do not have insurnace.

The dog will negate not just your mothers, but the complexes insurance in case of anything, fire, flood, dog bite, does not matter.

You can only be covered if you bond the dog.

In the event the HOA alters the by-laws you will have to get rid of the animal.

Answer: HOA insurance breed restrictions are NOT going to grandfather in someone with a prohibited breed dog - they'll just flat out refuse to give insurance to your association.

Technically, because your name is NOT on the deed of the house, and you are not married to the deeded owner, you are a TENANT, not the owner. Any HOA laws applying to TENANTS or RENTERS, would apply to you - even if you are not actually paying rent.

It's quite likely that you COULD get a rule passed that says no pittbulls, if all of a sudden, the association cannot find any insurance company willing to give them a master policy with liability coverage. Although State Farm might not have any breed
