Here are some of the basic types of home insurance in most states:
HO-1: A bare-bones policy that has been discontinued in most states because home owners generally demand a broader range of coverage. HO-1 insurance covers your property against 10 common hazards, but if damage is caused by a hazard not specifically named by the policy, you may not be covered.
HO-2: This broadens the number of hazards covered to 16, but like the HO-1 policy this is a "named perils" policy, meaning if the cause of the damage is not specifically identified in the policy you are not covered.
HO-3: This type of policy is popular because it provides broader coverage than the two listed above. The HO-3 policy covers your home against all hazards unless they are specifically excluded. However, the contents of the home are only covered against hazards specifically listed in the policy.
HO-5: Designed to provide very broad coverage of both your home and its contents, an HO-5 policy protects both against all hazards except those specifically excluded by the policy.
HO-6: Commonly known as condo insurance or town home insurance, HO-6 policies protect owners of condominiums for damage to the portion of the property they own, as opposed to common areas of the property. It is a named perils policy and so only covers hazards specifically identified in the contract.
HO-08: Properties such as older homes couuld cost more to rebuild than they are worth on the market, and thus would be extremely expensive to insure. An HO-8 policy allows home owners to insure against 10 common hazards, but only to the extent of the home's market value.
