For policyholders
Florida HOA and COA Insurance Claim Public Adjuster
Association insurance claims are different from ordinary homeowner claims. A condominium association or homeowners association claim may require review of the insurance policy, declarations, bylaws, maintenance obligations, board responsibilities, reserve issues, contractor estimates, mitigation records, and the parts of the property that may be the association’s responsibility.
Experienced Public Adjusters helps Florida condominium associations, homeowners associations, boards, LCAMs, property managers, and policyholders review damage, repair scope, estimates, policy responsibilities, and disputed claim issues. We do not represent insurance companies. We work for the policyholder.
Free HOA or COA Insurance Claim Review
If your association has suffered hurricane damage, roof damage, water intrusion, fire damage, smoke damage, mold, wind damage, plumbing leaks, elevator damage, clubhouse damage, pool building damage, or damage to common areas, call before accepting a low settlement or signing off on an incomplete scope.
If your HOA or COA claim has already been delayed, underpaid, or denied, we can review the claim file and explain what may be missing before the association accepts the insurance company’s estimate.

New, Delayed, Underpaid, or Denied HOA or COA Claim?
You do not have to wait until the insurance company underpays or denies the association’s claim. Many boards, property managers, and association representatives call us before filing so the damage, policy responsibilities, repair scope, common areas, and supporting documents are organized correctly from the beginning.
- New claims: We help document association property damage before the carrier controls the inspection, estimate, and claim file.
- Delayed claims: We help organize the file and push the claim process forward when the carrier keeps requesting more information.
- Underpaid claims: We review low estimates for missing roof, exterior, interior, common-area, code, matching, mitigation, and repair-scope items.
- Denied claims: We review the denial, policy language, association documents, damage facts, photographs, reports, and claim communications.
What Is Usually Covered Under an HOA or COA Insurance Policy?
There is no single answer that applies to every association. A condominium association policy often covers parts of the condominium property and common elements, while a homeowners association policy may focus on association-owned common areas and property the HOA is responsible to maintain, repair, or replace.
Coverage depends on the insurance policy, declaration, bylaws, maintenance provisions, Florida statutes, endorsements, deductibles, exclusions, limits, reserve or assessment issues, and the type of property damaged. In many claims, the dispute is not only whether damage occurred, but also which policy is responsible and how far the repair scope should go.
That is why HOA and COA claims need careful review. The association, property manager, board, unit owners, contractors, and insurance carrier may each be looking at different documents and different responsibilities.
Common HOA and COA Claim Problems
Scope and Responsibility Disputes
- Association policy vs. unit owner policy disputes.
- Common element vs. limited common element disputes.
- Damage crossing between units and shared property.
- Conflicting interpretations of declarations and bylaws.
Underpaid Property Damage
- Carrier estimate misses common areas or hidden damage.
- Roof, exterior, hallway, lobby, garage, or elevator damage is under-scoped.
- Matching, access, code, protection, and sequencing are omitted.
- Commercial pricing and association repair costs are underestimated.
Large-Loss Association Claims
- Hurricane damage affecting multiple buildings.
- Roof damage across an association or condominium complex.
- Fire or smoke damage to shared structures.
- Water intrusion affecting multiple units or floors.
Condominium Association Insurance Claims
Condominium association claims can involve building structures, roofs, exterior walls, windows, balconies, elevators, hallways, lobbies, garages, mechanical systems, common-area finishes, clubhouse property, pool facilities, and other shared property. Damage may also affect individual units, which can create disputes between the association policy and unit owner policies.
Florida condominium insurance responsibilities are often tied to Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, the condominium declaration, bylaws, maintenance provisions, and the association’s insurance policy. The insurance policy and governing documents must be reviewed together.
- Condominium roof damage and exterior damage.
- Common-area water damage and interior repairs.
- Hurricane and wind damage to multiple buildings.
- Elevator, lobby, corridor, stairwell, and garage damage.
- Fire, smoke, soot, odor, and water damage after a fire.
- Mold or moisture affecting shared areas or multiple units.
- Disputes between association policy and unit owner coverage.
Homeowners Association Insurance Claims
HOA insurance claims may involve common-area buildings, clubhouses, entrance structures, gates, fencing, pool buildings, signs, sidewalks, roads, landscaping, irrigation, recreational facilities, and other association-owned property. HOA policies and responsibilities vary widely.
Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes governs homeowners associations, but a claim still depends heavily on the association’s policy, declarations, bylaws, maintenance obligations, board decisions, and loss facts. The HOA may need help documenting association-owned damage, pricing repairs, separating unit or homeowner issues, and presenting the claim to the carrier.
- Clubhouse, amenity, pool, and recreation-area damage.
- Entry gates, fencing, signs, walls, roads, sidewalks, and shared property.
- Wind, hurricane, water, fire, mold, and vandalism claims.
- Large common-area claims affecting multiple owners.
- Claims involving property managers, LCAMs, boards, and contractors.
What Is an LCAM?
An LCAM is a Licensed Community Association Manager. In Florida, community association managers and community association management firms are regulated under Chapter 468, Part VIII of the Florida Statutes. An LCAM may assist a condominium association, homeowners association, cooperative association, or other community association with management services.
In an insurance claim, an LCAM or property manager may help coordinate inspections, documents, contractor access, board communication, owner communication, maintenance records, invoices, mitigation, and claim-related scheduling. The LCAM is often a key person in organizing documents and access, but the public adjuster’s role is different: we represent the policyholder in the insurance claim.
For association claims, the best results usually come from organized cooperation between the board, LCAM or property manager, maintenance team, contractors, experts, and the licensed public adjuster.

Luxury, High-Value and Complex Association Claims

These claims may involve waterfront buildings, premium common-area finishes, elevators, impact windows, tile roofs, flat roof systems, clubhouses, pool buildings, gates, security systems, garages, lobbies, corridors, marble, custom millwork, imported tile, commercial-grade systems, and large-loss repair sequencing.
