There is a special form of homeowner’s insurance for condo owners. Most mortgage companies require that you have a condo form policy to protect their interests in the property. Unlike a standard Homeowner’s policy, the condo form does not cover exterior walls and the grounds as these are covered by an association policy.

Insurance coverage for a condominium unit owner is slightly different than a policy that covers a single family free standing home. As a condo unit owner, your policy will provide coverage for your personal belongings that you brought into your home as well as any appliances purchased or "improvements" that you made to your unit. Coverage for the building itself and the common areas owned by the association are provided in a "Master Contract" with the Association as Named Insured. Depending on the laws of the state in which you live, your unit owners' policy should pick up where the master contract ends.
