HOMEOWNERSASSOCIATION (HOA)
SINGLE-FAMILY PLANNED COMMUNITIES WITH SHARED COMMON AREAS, AMENITIES, AND GOVERNANCE.
SINGLE-FAMILY COMMUNITIES WITH THE SAME INSURANCE COMPLEXITY AS HIGH-RISES.
A homeowners association managing single-family homes, townhomes, or patio homes carries the same core insurance obligations as any community association — master property for common structures, general liability for common areas, D&O for board decisions, and fidelity for financial protection. The difference is scope — HOAs often manage miles of private roads, multiple pools, playgrounds, clubhouses, and extensive landscaping spread across a large footprint.
Kelly Insurance Group builds HOA programs that account for every common-area amenity and infrastructure element — not a generic package based on unit count alone. We scale umbrella limits to the actual severity exposure each amenity creates and ensure workers' comp, inland marine, and equipment breakdown are included where the operations warrant them.
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION (HOA) — ANSWERED.
WHAT INSURANCE DOES AN HOA NEED?
Master property for common structures, GL for common areas and amenities, D&O for board protection, fidelity for financial controls, umbrella for catastrophic claims, and depending on operations — workers' comp, inland marine, equipment breakdown, cyber, and EPLI.
DOES THE HOA INSURE INDIVIDUAL HOMES?
No. The HOA insures common structures — clubhouses, pool buildings, entrance monuments, maintenance facilities — and common areas. Individual homeowners insure their own homes through their personal homeowner's policy.
WHAT COMMON AREA EXPOSURES DO HOAS CARRY?
Private roads, sidewalks, pools, playgrounds, fitness centers, clubhouses, lakes, ponds, gates, entrance monuments, landscaping, and walking trails. Each creates premises liability under the GL.
DOES THE HOA NEED UMBRELLA COVERAGE?
Yes. Communities with pools, playgrounds, and private roads face high-severity claims — drowning, child injuries, vehicle accidents. The umbrella provides the additional millions above the GL that catastrophic claims demand.
WHAT IS THE BOARD'S INSURANCE OBLIGATION?
The board has a fiduciary duty to maintain adequate coverage as specified in the governing documents and required by state law and lender warrantability standards. D&O coverage protects board members when their decisions are challenged.
HOW DOES HOA INSURANCE DIFFER FROM CONDO ASSOCIATION INSURANCE?
HOAs typically insure common structures and areas only — not individual homes. Condo associations insure the building structure itself. HOAs often have more extensive common areas — roads, large amenity campuses, multiple pools — while condos have more concentrated building exposure.
BUILD AN HOA PROGRAM THAT COVERS EVERY COMMON AREA.
Kelly Insurance Group structures HOA programs for the full amenity and infrastructure footprint — not a generic unit-count package. Since 1881.
