Insurance & your HO-6 policy
What the Association’s policies cover, and why your own policy matters.
What the Association carries
Master property policy

Deductible: $50,000 per covered loss.
Directors & Officers (D&O)

Your own policy: HO-6
Owners have been asked, in 2023 and again in August 2026, to carry their own HO-6 (condominium unit-owner) policy. The master policy is not a substitute for your own coverage.
Questions to ask your insurance agent Best practice
- Does my HO-6 include loss assessment coverage, and how much? (Tell your agent the master deductible is $50,000.)
- How does my policy cover interior finishes, cabinets, flooring and improvements I’ve made?
- Do I have personal liability coverage and coverage for my belongings?
- Does it cover water damage that starts in my unit and affects a neighbor?
- If I rent my unit out, do I need a landlord or rental endorsement?
How costs are shared after a loss depends on the Declaration and Utah law for the specific facts. This page is general information, not legal or insurance advice.
If something happens
- Make it safe: call 911 if anyone is in danger; shut off water at the source.
- Take photos and notes of the damage.
- Tell the Committee right away: report it here.
- Call your own insurance agent about your HO-6 policy.
