HO-6 Condo Insurance for Katy Condo Owners

Condo insurance — also called an HO-6 policy — is a type of homeowners insurance designed specifically for condominium owners. It covers your personal belongings, interior walls and fixtures, liability, and the gap between your unit and what your condo association’s master policy covers. Without condo insurance, you could be personally responsible for tens of thousands of dollars in damage to your unit’s interior.

Your condo association carries a master insurance policy that typically covers the building’s exterior, common areas, and shared structures. But this policy does not cover anything inside your unit — your furniture, appliances, flooring, cabinets, countertops, and personal belongings are your responsibility. Condo insurance fills that gap.

COVERAGE TYPES

What Does Condo Insurance in Katy, TX Cover?

An HO-6 condo insurance policy includes several key coverage types.

Personal Property

Covers your furniture, electronics, clothing, and other belongings against theft, fire, water damage, and other covered perils.

Interior Walls & Fixtures

Covers cabinets, countertops, flooring, built-in appliances, plumbing fixtures, and interior walls — everything inside the studs that the master policy may not cover.

Personal Liability

Protects you if someone is injured inside your unit or if you accidentally damage someone else's property. Covers legal defense costs and settlements.

Loss Assessment

If your HOA's master policy does not fully cover a building-wide claim and the association levies a special assessment, this coverage helps pay your share.

Loss of Use

Pays for temporary housing and additional living expenses if your condo becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event.

Medical Payments

Covers medical expenses for guests injured in your unit, regardless of fault. A small but important coverage that helps avoid lawsuits.

How Does Your Condo Association Master Policy Work?

Before purchasing condo insurance, it is essential to understand what your HOA’s master policy covers. There are two common types:

  • Bare walls-in — the master policy covers the building’s exterior structure and common areas only. Everything inside your unit — walls, flooring, cabinets, fixtures — is your responsibility to insure
  • All-in (or all-inclusive) — the master policy covers the building structure including interior fixtures as originally installed. However, any upgrades or improvements you have made, plus all personal property, still require your own HO-6 policy

We review your master policy to identify exactly where the association’s coverage ends and your responsibility begins. This ensures you do not overpay for duplicate coverage or leave dangerous gaps.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Condo Insurance FAQs for Katy, TX

Answers to the most common questions about condo insurance in Texas.

Condo insurance (HO-6) covers your personal belongings, interior walls and fixtures, personal liability, loss assessment charges from your HOA, loss of use/additional living expenses, and medical payments for guests. It picks up where your condo association’s master policy leaves off.
Yes. Your HOA’s master policy covers the building exterior and common areas — not your personal belongings, interior improvements, or personal liability. Without your own HO-6 policy, you would pay out of pocket for any damage to your unit’s interior, theft of your belongings, or liability claims from injuries inside your home.
The amount depends on the value of your personal property, the cost to rebuild your unit’s interior (if you have a bare walls-in master policy), and the liability limits you want. We recommend dwelling coverage of at least $25,000 to $100,000 for interior rebuilding, personal property coverage based on an inventory of your belongings, and at least $300,000 in liability.
Loss assessment coverage helps pay your share of special assessments levied by your HOA after a covered loss that exceeds the master policy‘s limits. For example, if a fire damages the building and the master policy does not fully cover repairs, each unit owner may be assessed a portion of the shortfall. Loss assessment coverage pays that charge for you.
Condo insurance in Texas typically costs $300 to $800 per year depending on your location, the value of your personal property, interior coverage amount, deductible, and liability limits. It is significantly less expensive than a standard homeowners policy because the building’s exterior is covered by the master policy.
