What HOA insurance do associations in Texas need?

Associations in Texas typically need a coverage stack sized to the association type and governing-document requirements: a master property policy (bare walls, single-entity, or all-in depending on the community type), general liability, directors and officers (D&O) liability for the board, fidelity/crime bond, umbrella or excess liability, and workers compensation where the association has employees. Texas is most active in: Condo HOA, Townhome / PUD, Master-planned community. Each association type carries distinct coverage architecture driven by governing docs, lender requirements, and state statute.

Texas community associations

Texas HOA and condo insurance, where the statutory floor is lower than the lender standard. The 80 percent statutory minimum is not the same as warrantability

Texas is a large, fast-growing community-association market with a hail and wind exposure that shapes property pricing across most of the state. The statutory insurance floor is modest, which makes the gap between the legal minimum and the lender standard the central issue for most boards.

We read a Texas program against both bars at once: the Property Code minimum and the higher replacement-cost standard a conventional lender will actually require at a unit sale.

Texas HOA & condo insurance

Cluster shape

What concentrates in the Texas book

Metro condominium and townhome associations across the major Texas markets carry the classic valuation-basis and warrantability exposure, layered on top of a severe convective storm and hail environment that drives deductible structure.

Master-planned communities, which Texas has in abundance, add amenity liability and umbrella sizing to the property conversation.

Regulatory

The Texas statutory backdrop

For condominiums, Texas Property Code Section 82.111 requires the association to maintain property insurance on the insurable common elements against direct physical loss, including fire and extended coverage, in an amount of at least 80 percent of replacement cost or actual cash value, plus commercial general liability in an amount set by the board and the declaration. For condominiums with horizontal boundaries, stacked units, the property insurance must also cover the units.

That 80 percent statutory floor is the key practitioner point. It is below the 100 percent replacement-cost standard the Fannie Mae Selling Guide (section B7-3) requires for a conventional loan to be warrantable. A Texas association can satisfy the Property Code and still fail a lender insurance review, so the program should be sized to the lender bar, not the statutory minimum.

Market commentary

How the Texas market actually behaves

Hail and wind are the dominant loss drivers, and roof and deductible structure carry most of the premium conversation. Percentage wind and hail deductibles are common in the more exposed regions, and they pass through to owners the same way a coastal wind deductible does.

Placement runs through the community-association specialty markets, sized to the building type and the storm exposure. The most common gap we find is a program written to the 80 percent statutory floor rather than to full replacement cost, which surfaces at the worst time, at a claim or a unit sale.
