Condo Insurance in Arizona
When purchasing a condo, it is important to note that you do not own the condo building or the land that the condo sits on. Your homeowner’s association (HOA) collectively owns these assets and carries a “master” insurance policy to cover damage to the exterior of the condo building and coverage for accidents anywhere on the property. As a condo owner, it is crucial for you to purchase adequate condo insurance to cover any damage to the interior of the condo and damage to or theft of your personal contents. Read on to learn more about the various condo coverages available through The Insurance House in Tucson, Arizona.
