Loss Assessment

Helps pay your share when a condo/HOA hits all owners with a special assessment after a covered loss.

Loss assessment coverage helps pay your share when a condo or homeowners association charges all owners a special assessment after a covered loss.

When damage to shared property or a liability claim exceeds the association’s master policy, the HOA can bill every owner for their portion — sometimes thousands of dollars. This coverage, usually a small add-on to a condo (HO-6) policy, steps in to pay that assessment.

The default limit is often modest, so if you own in a condo or HOA, it’s worth confirming you carry enough to match the kinds of assessments your association could realistically levy.
