Protect Your Home Inside the Walls — Not Just the Building
If you own a condo in Bloomington, MN, you probably already know your condo association carries insurance for the building exterior and common areas. What many people don’t realize is this association policy often stops where your unit begins. That’s where Condo Insurance (HO‑6 Insurance) from Prokop Insurance Agency comes in — to protect you, your belongings, and your financial peace of mind.
Whether you live near the Mall of America, in the Normandale Lake area, or in one of the quiet residential neighborhoods near 494/77, you deserve coverage that fits your life and the unique risks condo living brings. That’s exactly what we help Bloomington homeowners get.
What Is Condo Insurance and Why You Need It in Bloomington
Condo Insurance, often called HO‑6 Insurance, is a policy designed specifically for condo unit owners. Your condo association (HOA) master policy typically covers:
- The building’s exterior structure
- Common areas like hallways, lobbies, and roofs
But this policy usually does not cover:
- The inside of your unit
- Your personal belongings
- Your personal liability
- Additional living costs if your unit becomes unlivable
That’s why a personal condo policy matters. It fills those gaps so you’re covered where the association stops.
Here’s the simplest way to think about it:
Association policy = building outside walls
Your policy = inside walls and everything in them
Without your own condo insurance, you may be on the hook for costly repairs, lawsuits, or loss assessments.
Condo Insurance Coverage You Can Count On
Here’s what most condo insurance policies — including the ones we build for Bloomington homeowners — help cover:
Dwelling Coverage (Walls‑In Protection)
Covers damage to the interior of your condo unit. That includes walls, floors, cabinets, built‑in fixtures, and more — damage caused by events like:
- Fire and smoke
- Windstorm or hail
- Vandalism
- Burst pipes
- Theft
- Falling objects
This coverage steps in where your HOA master policy stops.
Personal Property Coverage
Your sofa, TV, clothes, dishes, and other personal items are covered if they’re damaged or stolen. You can also choose to schedule high‑value items like jewelry or artwork so they’re fully protected.
Personal Liability
If someone gets hurt in your condo and sues you, this helps pay for:
- Legal defense
- Medical bills
- Property damage claims
This matters especially if you host friends or neighbors.
Loss Assessment Protection
This one’s big in condominium living. If your HOA’s insurance doesn’t fully cover a shared structure loss, the cost might be split among unit owners. Loss assessment coverage helps you pay your part of unexpected HOA costs.
Additional Living Expenses
If a covered loss makes your unit uninhabitable, this helps pay for hotel stays, meals, and other extra costs while repairs are made.
Optional Add‑Ons and Endorsements
Because every condo owner’s situation is different, you can also add coverage for:
- Water or sewer backup
- Identity theft restoration
- Replacement cost (replace item with new, not old value)
- Scheduled personal property for expensive items
- Flood or natural disaster add‑ons when needed
How Condo Insurance Works in Bloomington, MN
Here’s how a condo insurance claim might play out in a real Bloomington situation:
Scenario 1:
A storm blows through and damages the inside of your condo near Normandale Lake. The HOA master policy covers the building exterior, but your walls‑in and floors are damaged. Your condo insurance helps pay for repairs.
Scenario 2:
Someone slips on your tile entryway and injures themselves. Medical bills and legal costs start piling up. Your liability coverage helps handle that.
These situations might sound rare, but when they happen, you’re glad you had the right coverage.

Common Condo Insurance Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
Here are a few pitfalls we see often — and how to steer clear:
Thinking the HOA Policy Covers Everything
It doesn’t. Most association policies stop at your unit’s interior. Without an HO‑6 policy, you’re leaving money on the table.
Under‑Estimating Personal Property Value
People forget how much their belongings are worth. Taking inventory with photos and receipts helps you choose the right coverage.
Skipping Loss Assessment Coverage
These HOA assessments can hit hard if there’s a big repair bill. Loss assessment coverage protects you from surprise bills.
Choosing Price Over Protection
Lowest price isn’t always best. You want the right protection level, not just a cheap number.
How Much Does Condo Insurance Cost in Bloomington?
In Minnesota, condo insurance is generally more affordable than a traditional homeowners policy. Typical annual premiums fall around the state average of roughly $380–$420, though your exact cost depends on:
- Home size
- Personal property limits
- Liability coverage
- Deductibles you choose
- Your claim history
The cost may also vary slightly depending on where you live in Bloomington — whether near Lakeville Road and Nicollet Avenue or close to Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
Here’s the key: you want the right coverage, not the cheapest.

Real Questions Bloomington Condo Owners Ask (FAQs)
1. Do I really need condo insurance if my HOA already has a master policy?
Yes. HOA policies usually cover shared property and building exteriors, not your unit’s interior or personal items. You’re responsible for everything inside your condo walls.
2. What does condo insurance cover that the HOA policy doesn’t?
It covers your personal property, interior walls‑in damage, personal liability, loss of use, and loss assessment.
3. What isn’t covered by standard condo insurance?
Floods, earthquakes, normal wear and tear, and intentional damage generally aren’t covered unless you add special coverage.
4. How much condo insurance should I have in Bloomington?
That depends on the value of your belongings, your liability needs, and how your HOA policy defines unit owner responsibilities. We help you figure this out.
5. Will condo insurance rates go down if I bundle with auto or renters insurance?
Often yes. Bundling can reduce your overall cost and makes managing your policies simpler.
6. I own high‑value items. Should they be scheduled separately?
Yes, expensive items like jewelry or collectibles often need scheduled coverage to be fully protected.
7. What should I do after a loss in my condo?
Document the damage with photos, notify us, and start your claims filing early. We guide you through every step.
