No. "HO3" is for owner occupied dwellings. "HO6" is an owner occupied, condo unit owner's policy. HO3 is for the house itself (dwelling), personal property, liability, and loss of use. HO6 is for personal property, "walls-in" coverage (usually called additions & alterations), liability, and loss of use

What perils are covered on a HO3 homeowners policy?
An HO-3 policy is considered an "all risk" policy, meaning a loss is covered unless it is specifically excluded. Review the "exclusions" portion of your policy to see what type of losses are excluded. An HO-3 policy affords an insured more protection than any other policy. I would recommend purchasing the HO-3 policy if you are in the market for insurance.
What is an HO7 in personal insurance?
ISO has standard homeowners policy forms that most companies use so that when you look at one HO-3 it is the same as another HO-3 unless endorsements are added to change parts of it. They create many different policy forms for all kinds of insurance for use by companies and state insurance departments. An HO-7 is not one of these standard forms. If you look on the internet a few companies describe it as a mobile home policy and some a ramped up homeowners with extra coverages added. Be carefull that you understand what you are buying when you purchase one of these non-standard forms.

No, they are not the same. HOA - Basic Coverage, is a Homeowners Insurance Policy Form "A", Also known as a HO1 policy. The HOA is the most common home Policy Form purchased in the United States. It is usually based on ACV valuation rather than on Replacement valuation in the event of a claim.

How does comprehensive policy differ from fire policy?
There is no such thing as a comprehensive homeowners policy. What you are probably thinking of is a HO policy or Homeowners policy. Their are 2 common policy's sold that are homeowners. One is an HO-3 and the other is an HO-5. These policy's provide a wide range of coverages compared to just a DP-1 or DP-3 policy. DP is a dwelling fire policy. This provides just very basic perils on a policy. Pretty much it just covers wind, fire, weather, and a few other basic things. Mark Owner of Denvers Insurance

It depends on your policy form. Homeowners policies come in the following policy forms: HO-1, HO-2, HO-3, HO-4, HO-5, HO-6, HO-8, HO-10.

What perils is covered on an H08 policy?
An HO-8 policy is generally made for an older home in a situation where you may not want to carry the amount of insurance it would take to rebuild the home as it is. This policy is an Actual Cash Value policy which means that they will pay claims based on what the real estate value of the home is rather than what the replacement cost of the home is. An HO-3 requires that you insure the home for the amount that it would take to rebuild it as it is with similar material. In this case, a homeowner may not want to pay for $400,000 of insurance when the home is worth $100,000 on the real estate market. With an HO-8 or HO-10 policy you can purchase $100,000 of insurance and if the house burns the company will pay you $100,000 for the home plus the amount for you contents inside the home.

Homeowner insurance without concrete foundation?
A home without a solid concrete foundation will probably not qualify for an HO-3 form homeowners policy. However, a home like this is most likely an older house where the HO-3 would probably not be the best policy for this home anyway due to the requirement for replacement cost. In order to write a HO-3 policy you must insure it for at least 80% of the full replacement cost of the house. If the amount of insurance falls below 80% and a claim is presented then there will be a penalty and only part of the claim will be paid. Replacement cost means to rebuild the home exactly like it was when originally built with similar material. On an older home this is extremely high due to the cost of similar material. For this reason, you would want to write a HO-10 or HO-8 policy for these older homes as it is a actual cash value policy instead of replacement cost.
When does the home insurance pay to repair a water leak around a brick fireplace chimney?
There are several different types of policy forms used by property insurance companies. For an owner occupied single family home (versus a rental property, secondary residence, or condo) the policy form typically used is called the Homeowners Form 3 (HO-3). The HO-3 policy will cover "sudden and accidental" water damage. What this means is that if you have a constant leak that was in plain view then the damage would not be covered. It has to be "sudden and accidental". The best way to determine whether or not you have coverage for this is by looking at your contract. The HO-1 and HO-2 policy forms are more limited. In the HO-3 you will want to read everything under the Section 1: Dwelling Coverages, AND the exclusions for Section 1: Dwelling. The reason that you need to refer to the Dwelling Coverages (Coverage "A" on most policies) is because a brick fireplace is a permanent part of the structure of your home.

What is the best home insurance?
There is no 'best'. Contact an agent, there are so many variables with rating. The best insurance for your home is the best coverage at the most reasonable price, call a few agents and get some quotes. look for an ho-5 policy. simply call agents, ask if they offer a homewners policy that is an ho-5, and not an ho-3. ho-5 covers your contents better than a 3. also, get water back up, extended replacement cost, and equipment breakdown coverage. also go with a $1,000 deductible or higher since little claims will screw you in the end. I'm an agent. thanks
