Loss Assessment Coverage

Loss assessment is a coverage term to examine when a condominium association can charge unit owners a share of certain losses or costs. Not every association assessment is insured.

Questions rather than assumptions

Ask what triggers the provision, which assessments qualify and whether an association master-policy deductible is treated differently. Confirm the limit and exclusions in the actual unit form.

Routine fees, maintenance and financial assessments should not be assumed to become insurance claims. This draft needs condo-specific form verification before a definitive coverage explanation is approved.

Bring association documents to the agent and read the condo insurance guide. A label in a quote does not resolve the association’s insurance responsibilities.
