Condo Insurance
Condo Insurance for Springboro & Southwest Ohio
Your HOA covers the building. We cover everything inside it — your unit, your belongings, and your liability.
Why It Matters
Your HOA Policy Stops at Your Front Door
Your HOA’s master policy covers the building exterior and shared spaces — but not what’s inside your unit. Condo insurance, also called HO-6 insurance, fills that gap. It protects your walls, floors, cabinets, appliances, personal belongings, and your personal liability.

Coverage Breakdown
What Your Condo Policy Covers
HO-6 policies are built around the gaps your HOA leaves behind. Here’s what each coverage type protects.
Interior Structure
Walls, flooring, cabinets, and built-ins inside your unit — where your HOA coverage ends.
Personal Property
Furniture, electronics, clothing, and appliances — covered against theft, fire, and storm damage.
Personal Liability
Covers legal costs if someone is injured in your unit or you cause damage to a neighboring unit.
Loss of Use
Hotel stays and meal costs if your condo becomes unlivable after a covered loss.
Loss Assessment
Your share of HOA-wide damages or lawsuits that exceed the master policy limits.
Medical Payments
Minor medical bills for guests injured in your unit regardless of who is at fault.
Know Your Limits
What Condo Insurance Doesn't Cover
Understanding exclusions is just as important as knowing what’s covered. These items require separate policies or endorsements.
Flood Damage — Standard HO-6 policies exclude flood entirely. If your condo is near a creek or low-lying area, ask us about NFIP or private flood coverage.
Earthquake — Not covered by default. Ohio has low seismic risk but endorsements are available if you want the protection.
Pest and Mold Damage — Infestations and mold remediation are typically excluded. Prevention and early detection are your best defense.
Previous Owner Improvements — Unit upgrades made before you purchased — new flooring, custom cabinetry — may not be covered unless you schedule them specifically.

Ways to Lower Your Condo Insurance Premium
Most condo owners qualify for at least one of these discounts. Ask us which ones apply to your situation.
Bundle Condo + Auto — Combining policies with Bucklew Insurance is typically the largest single discount available — often 15–25% off both policies.
Safety Features — Monitored smoke alarms, deadbolts, and water leak detection devices all qualify for premium reductions.
Higher Deductible — Raising your deductible from $500 to $1,000 can meaningfully lower your annual premium.
Good Credit — Ohio insurers use a credit-based insurance score. Maintaining good credit is one of the most impactful ways to keep premiums low.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does condo insurance cover that my HOA policy doesn't?
Your HOA’s master policy covers the building exterior and common areas. Condo insurance covers what’s inside your unit — walls, floors, cabinets, appliances, personal belongings, and your personal liability.
Is condo insurance required in Ohio?
Ohio law doesn’t mandate it, but most mortgage lenders require HO-6 coverage if you finance your unit. Even if it’s not required, it’s essential protection for everything your HOA policy leaves exposed.
What is loss assessment coverage?
It covers your share of damage to common areas or lawsuits against your HOA that exceed their master policy limits. It’s one of the most overlooked but critical parts of condo insurance.
What's the difference between HO-3 and HO-6 insurance?
HO-3 is for standalone homes. HO-6 is designed specifically for condo units — it covers your interior and personal property since the HOA typically insures the building exterior and shared spaces.
Can I get condo insurance if I rent out my unit?
Yes — if you’re renting your condo to tenants you’ll need a landlord or rental condo policy, which is a variation of HO-6. Call us and we’ll make sure you have the right coverage for your situation.
How much does condo insurance cost in Springboro?
Most HO-6 policies in Ohio run between $200–$400 per year depending on your unit’s value, deductible, and coverage limits. Bundling with auto can reduce that further.
Can I bundle condo and auto insurance for a discount?
Yes — bundling with Bucklew Insurance typically saves 10–20% on both policies and simplifies your coverage into one local relationship.
How can I lower my condo insurance premium?
Bundle with auto, install monitored safety devices, raise your deductible, and maintain good credit. Ask us when you request your quote and we’ll identify every discount you qualify for.
