Homeowners’ personal insurance policy is called an HO-6 policy or condo insurance. This policy complements the Nyland Community Association’s (NCA) master policy. The master policy will rebuild the exterior of your home to the “bare walls.” It may look like a house but upon entering there is no finishing. Your personal policy takes over coverage from the “walls in.” That would include the carpet, hardwood flooring, texture or paint on the walls, cabinets, interior doors, trim, light fixtures, sinks, etc.

Nyland’s CC&Rs require every homeowner to carry a personal policy to insure what is not covered by the NCA's master policy.

Here’s a list of what a homeowner’s personal policy should include:

Building Property: Include enough coverage (in dollars) to finish the interior of your home (flooring, cabinets, light fixtures, etc.).

Personal Property: Include enough coverage to replace personal belongings (electronics, clothing, appliances, etc.), the contents of a carport, outside storage buildings and their contents, and landscape structures that are unattached, etc.

Personal Liability: Talk with your agent.

Deductible Assessment: We recommend coverage between $25,000-$50,000, but talk with your agent.

Loss Assessment: We recommend coverage of $50,000 or more, but talk with your agent.

Additional Interest: Have your agent list the NCA on your personal policy as an “additional interest”:
