Frequently asked questions

Is condo insurance required in Iowa?

No state law requires condo insurance. However, if you have a mortgage on your condo, your lender will require that you have a condo insurance policy.

What affects condo insurance costs in Iowa?

Condo insurance rates are affected by several factors, including where the condo is located, your credit history, how much coverage you need and claims history (both yours and the unit’s).

“A condominium is an individual unit inside a structure filled with adjoining residential units. The same factors that affect the rates on any other residential structure affect the rates on condominiums. The main things we look at in setting insurance rates are the building’s construction and safety features, the geographic location and the occupancy or use of the property,” Wells says.

How does the condo association’s master policy affect my insurance coverage?

The master policy of your condo association generally covers the exterior of the building and common areas, but not your unit. Your condo insurance (HO-6) covers your unit’s interior and personal belongings and liability protection in case someone is injured inside your unit.
