What is condo insurance?
While your condo might be one of many units in a complex, it is important that you ensure your living space and personal property is protected. Condo insurance provides you with coverage that may not be included in the building's policy. In the event any of your personal belongings are damaged in your condo, you will want to make sure you have a policy that makes sure those damages are covered. Empire Insurance Brokers is here to help you and all condo residents in Tacoma, WA learn what you need to know about condo insurance and can create an insurance quote that is right for you.

There are several different types of coverages that go into a condo insurance policy. Before you get a quote, it's important to look into how much coverage you need for your residence. Here are some basic coverages and types of insurance that are available to you:
Content coverage
Includes the protection of personal items like clothing, electronics, furniture, and other items that would fall under covered losses.
Loss of use coverage
Condo residents would be reimbursed for additional living expenses when a covered loss prevents you from living in your home.
Building improvement coverage
If you decide to put an addition on your condo or are looking into alterations, improvements, installations, or fixtures, this policy will cover damages that could occur during these processes.
Personal liability coverage
In the event someone gets injured in an accident in your condo, this coverage helps pay for covered damages or bodily injury.
Condo loss assessments coverage
This type of policy would help pay for assessment fees that could be charged by your association in the event of a covered loss to your residence.
Medical payment coverage
Not only is personal liability coverage an option, but you can protect yourself from medical payments or funeral costs if someone is injured on your property.
Credit card coverage
In case you discover unauthorized transactions on your credit cards and/or bank debit/ATM cars, this policy helps pay up to your selected limit for unauthorized transactions. This can be applied to forged checks and counterfeit money.
