    Key Coverage Features

    1. Property Management Companies Named as Additional Insured

    Property management companies are vital to the seamless operation of PUDs. Our policies allow these companies to be named as additional insured, ensuring they are covered under the same robust protection as the association. This unified approach enhances risk management and fosters collaboration between the HOA and its management partners.

    2. Landscape Coverage Including Vandalism

    PUDs often feature beautifully maintained landscapes, from community green spaces to meticulously designed gardens. Our Landscape Coverage protects against damage to trees, shrubs, and other landscaping elements, including losses due to vandalism. This ensures your community’s aesthetic appeal and property value are preserved.

    3. High Limit Umbrella Policies

    For enhanced protection, we offer Umbrella Liability Policies with limits up to $25,000,000, providing an additional layer of coverage over your General Liability and Directors and Officers (D&O) policies. This high-limit coverage safeguards your association from catastrophic claims, offering peace of mind for even the most unexpected scenarios.

    4. Blanket Property Limits

    Our Blanket Property Limits provide flexible, comprehensive coverage for all insured properties within your PUD, including buildings, common areas, and amenities. This streamlined approach eliminates the need to assign specific limits to individual structures, ensuring full protection across your community.

    5. All-Risk Coverage

    Our All-Risk Coverage offers broad protection for:

    • Buildings: Covers clubhouses, recreational facilities, and other structures against a wide range of perils.

    • Contents: Protects equipment, furnishings, and other property within common areas.

    • Loss of Income: Compensates for lost association fees or other revenue during disruptions.

    • Extra Expense: Covers additional costs incurred to maintain operations during recovery. This comprehensive coverage ensures your PUD is protected against unexpected events, from fires to severe weather.

    6. Valuable Papers Coverage

    Important documents, such as association records, contracts, or bylaws, are critical to PUD operations. Our Valuable Papers Coverage protects against the cost of replacing or restoring these documents if they are damaged or lost due to covered events, ensuring continuity in governance and administration.

    7. Accounts Receivable Coverage

    Maintaining accurate financial records is essential for PUDs. Our Accounts Receivable Coverage protects against losses resulting from the inability to collect association fees or other receivables due to damage to financial records, helping your association maintain financial stability.

    8. Pollutant Cleanup and Removal

    Environmental incidents, such as chemical spills or contamination in common areas, can be costly to address. Our Pollutant Cleanup and Removal coverage reimburses expenses for cleaning up and removing pollutants, ensuring your community remains safe and compliant with regulations.

    9. Earthquake Coverage

    Earthquakes pose a significant risk in California, and PUDs often include vulnerable structures like clubhouses, streets, walls, walks, and fences. Our Earthquake Coverage provides targeted protection for these assets, covering repair or replacement costs to help your community recover quickly after a seismic event.
