Homeowners
Yes. When an HOA has a loss that exceeds its master policy limit, the shortfall is assessed to individual unit owners. Standard HO-6 policies include loss assessment coverage, but the default limit is typically $1,000. In Georgia, hail events and water intrusion from roof failures have triggered assessments of $5,000 to $20,000 per unit at attached townhome and condo communities. We recommend increasing loss assessment coverage to at least $25,000, which typically costs $10 to $20 per year more than the default.
