Why Condo/HOA/PUD Association Insurance?

To protect the Association and Owners from expensive liability claims and to repair or replace damaged property.

If you are looking for HOA Insurance on the Central Coast, you’ve come to the right place. At Omnia Insurance, we have been providing comprehensive insurance solutions to over 200 associations for over 35 years. As independent insurance brokers we have access to many top rated insurance companies which allows us to customize insurance programs to meet the needs of each individual Association.

The advantage of working with Omnia Insurance:

We strive to provide superior personalized service to the Board and Owners of the Associations we insure while providing comprehensive and affordable HOA Insurance. HOA Insurance along the Central Coast can be tricky. Our building costs are higher so we work closely with insurance company underwriters. Over the past 35 years, we have developed relationships with insurance companies, property managers, CPAs, and vendors that will benefit our insured Associations. Before submitting applications, we personally inspect each Association, review the CC&R’s, existing policies, Reserve Study, County Records and other pertinent documents. This is so we can identify missing coverages or over-insurance and to be sure the insurance meets the requirements of the Association’s CC&Rs and the Davis Sterling Act.

We provide Master as well as stand-alone policies for General Liability, Property, Directors & Officers Liability, Fidelity Bonds, Umbrella Liability, Earthquake, Flood, Landslide and Workers’ Compensation. Workers’ Compensation can be written for Associations with and without employees so that the Directors/Officers, Committee Members and Volunteers can be covered while attending to Association business.

Certificates and Proof of Insurance are provided to our Valued Customers at no charge.
