Mims Home Insurance Coverage Types

Homeowners insurance comes in a variety of different types and each one has been designed to specifically insure a certain type of housing unit. One type of coverage is for a single-family house while an HO-4 policy is designed for an apartment.

Here is a quick overview of the different types of insurance that are available to you as a homeowner.

  • HO-3: A standard home, requires a standard homeowners policy and that is exactly what an HO-3 policy is designed to insure. It is the most popular type of homeowners policy being sold and will protect you from all perils except those excluded in the wording of the policy.
  • HO-6: Co-op and condo dwellers require a specific type of homeowners protection and an HO-6 fills those needs. It offers protection for both your personal property as well as the various parts of the building that you own. The walls and mechanical fixtures in your particular unit are examples of covered materials.
  • HO-8: Older homes come with their own set of challenges, one being that it often costs more to rebuild them than they are worth due to building methods and the type of materials used in their construction.
    In many cases, these homes are not eligible for a HO-3 policy so the only affordable way to protect them is with an HO-8 policy. An HO-8 policy will only cover 11 specific perils, and coverage levels may not pay out the entire cost to rebuild the house.
  • HO-4: The majority of us know this as renters insurance. It covers the personal possessions in your apartment from damage, destruction and even theft.

One of the major benefits of an HO-4 policy is the liability coverage that it offers. This portion of the policy will pay out if someone is injured in your apartment. It will cover the cost of medical bills, as well as a legal defense if you are sued because someone was injured in your apartment.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
