Pinellas County Condo Insurance (HO-6 Coverage, Hurricane Deductibles & Loss Assessment)

Pinellas County has one of Florida’s highest concentrations of waterfront and mid-rise condominium communities, from Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach to downtown St. Petersburg, Indian Rocks Beach, Madeira Beach, and Tierra Verde. With direct Gulf exposure, older coastal construction, and frequent association insurance deductible pass-throughs, properly structured HO-6 condo insurance is critical to protect your interior finishes, personal property, liability exposure, and potential special assessments.

​Many Pinellas County condo owners assume the condominium association’s master policy fully insures their unit. In reality, major claims—especially after hurricanes, wind losses, or water damage—often leave owners responsible for interior items, deductible assessments, and upgrades inside the unit.


What Pinellas County Condo Associations Typically Insure
Under Florida Statute 718.111(11)(f), most Pinellas County condominium associations insure the building to an “original specifications” or “walls-out” standard. This generally includes:

• Structural components
• Roof, exterior walls, and concrete framing
• Drywall (finished wall surface)
• Common-area plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems

Items such as flooring, cabinets, countertops, built-in appliances, and interior improvements are often the unit owner’s responsibility and should be insured under your HO-6 policy.


Because many Pinellas associations carry significant hurricane deductibles, unit owners should also consider strong loss assessment coverage to help protect against shared association assessments after major storms.
