HOA Insurer

TL;DR

  • This table lists what each state statute requires of a community-association master policy: the property-insurance floor, fidelity/crime rule, reserve-study or structural-integrity obligation, milestone inspection, and the governing statute for all 50 states and DC.
  • A state minimum is a floor, not a full compliance standard. Lender warrantability (Fannie, Freddie, FHA) and your own governing documents frequently require more, so read this alongside those two, not instead of them.

State reference

HOA and condo insurance requirements by state, side by side.

Community-association insurance is governed at three levels: the lender's warrantability standard, the state statute, and the association's own governing documents. This page covers the middle layer, the statutory requirements, distilled from our hand-written state pages into one comparison. Each row links to the full state page, and every value is drawn from the cited statute, with an honest note where a state sets no percentage rather than an invented number.

Educational reference only, not legal or insurance advice. Statutory timelines and thresholds have been revised across recent legislative sessions, so confirm your building's specific obligation against the current statute. Coverage terms and availability are set by the underwriting market at binding.

Common questions

HOA and condo insurance requirements by state: what boards and CAMs ask

Does meeting my state minimum insurance requirement make my HOA compliant?

Not necessarily. A state statutory floor is a minimum, and lender warrantability standards (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA) often require more, most notably 100 percent replacement cost with no coinsurance for a warrantable condominium. Several states set an 80 or 90 percent floor, or none at all, which sits below what a lender review expects. Meeting the state minimum can still leave a master policy that fails a lender or a governing-document requirement.

Why do so many states show no statutory percentage?

Many states do not fix a replacement-cost percentage in the code. Instead the required amount is set by the association's declaration and bylaws, and in practice by the lender warrantability standard. That is why reading the governing documents is the starting point in those states rather than reciting a statutory number. The table notes those states honestly rather than inventing a figure.

Which states require a structural reserve study or milestone inspection?

Florida is the most prescriptive, requiring a Structural Integrity Reserve Study and a milestone inspection for condominium buildings of three or more stories. Several other states have their own reserve-study review cycles or newer structural-integrity requirements, shown in the reserve and milestone columns. Most states set no milestone-inspection requirement at all. Confirm your building's specific obligation against the current statute, since these timelines have been revised across recent legislative sessions.
