Coverage Guide for Cocoa Beach Homeowners

One thing to consider when buying home insurance is the type of policy you need. There are different policy types that are each designed for the specific type of home that you may own. For example do you own or rent the home? Is the home a single family home, duplex or condo? These are all imporant questions that change the coverage level of the policy you may need to get the right coverage. Here is a brief description of each of the different homeowner policy types that are available to you:

  • Homeowners 3 (HO-3): The most common of all homeowner insurance types is the HO-3 policy. The majority of homeowners in Cocoa Beach are most likely carrying this policy type. It protects your home against every peril except ones that are excluded specifically in the policy.
    It should be noted that all HO-3 policies exclude earthquake and flooding damage.
  • Homeowners 4 (HO-4): You probably know this policy type by its more familiar name, “renters insurance.” This will cover the personal property in the apartment as well as offering liability coverage for you in the event that some trips and fall or is otherwise injured in your apartment.
  • Homeowners 5 (HO-5): This policy type is an upgraded HO-3. While more expensive than an HO-3 policy it also offers more coverage. These policies are not available on all homes, they are usually reserved for newer houses that fall in higher price brackets.

One of the major differences with this policy type is that your personal property is covered by all perils that are not named as exclusions. An HO-3 policy on the other hand only protects your personal property against a certain list of perils.

The majority of these policies also offer replacement value as standard coverage on personal property compared to fair market value which takes deprecation into account when calculating the value of your damaged or destroyed property.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
