Protect your unit, your stuff, and your peace of mind
Protect your unit, belongings, and liability with help from a local independent agency.
Owning a condo in Chanhassen feels simple until insurance comes up.
Your association has a policy. You have responsibilities too.
The problem is that most people are not clear where one ends and the other begins.
That confusion leads to uncovered losses, surprise assessments, and stress when something goes wrong.
This page clears that up.
At Prokop Insurance Agency, we help condo owners in Chanhassen get clear answers and solid coverage that actually fits how condo living works here. No fluff. No guesswork. Just straightforward help from people who know Minnesota condos.
Why Condo Insurance Is Different in Chanhassen?
Here’s the thing most condo owners miss.
Your association’s master policy does not fully protect you.
That policy usually covers the building structure and shared spaces. It often stops at the walls. Everything inside your unit is usually your responsibility.
That includes:
- Cabinets, flooring, and fixtures
- Personal belongings
- Liability if someone gets hurt in your unit
- Temporary living costs after a covered loss
- Special assessments from the association
Sound familiar? Many people assume they are covered until a claim happens.
This part’s tricky, especially in Chanhassen, where condo associations vary a lot. Some policies are bare walls. Others cover more. You cannot assume anything without reviewing it.
That’s where condo insurance, also called an HO-6 policy, comes in.
What Condo Insurance Covers
Condo insurance fills the gaps your association policy leaves behind. A good policy protects both your space and your finances.
Personal Property Coverage
This covers your belongings like furniture, electronics, clothing, and kitchen items. Fire, theft, smoke damage, and some water losses are common covered events.
People often underestimate how much this adds up to until they list it out.
Interior Unit Coverage
This protects what you own inside the walls. Flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, and built-ins usually fall here.
If a pipe bursts or a fire damages your unit, this coverage helps repair what the association policy does not.
Personal Liability Protection
If someone slips in your unit or you accidentally cause damage to another unit, liability coverage helps with legal costs and damages.
This matters more than people think, especially in shared buildings.
Medical Payments Coverage
This helps pay for minor medical bills if a guest gets hurt in your unit, regardless of fault.
Loss Assessment Coverage
This one is big in condos.
If your association charges owners to cover a shared loss or deductible, this coverage can help pay your share. Special assessments are more common than most condo owners expect.
Additional Living Expenses
If your unit becomes unlivable after a covered loss, this helps pay for temporary housing, food, and related costs.
Why Local Condo Owners Choose Prokop Insurance Agency?
Prokop Insurance Agency is an independent insurance agency serving Chanhassen and nearby Minnesota communities. We work with multiple insurance carriers, which means we are not locked into one option.
That matters because condo policies vary widely.
Here’s what sets our approach apart.
We Review the Master Policy
Most agencies skip this step. We do not.
We review your condo association’s master policy to spot gaps and overlaps. That way you are not paying for coverage you do not need or missing something important.
We Explain Things in Plain English
Insurance language gets confusing fast. We slow it down and explain what actually applies to your unit.
If something does not make sense, we fix that before you buy.
We Understand Chanhassen Condo Living
Condo communities near Lake Ann Park, Lotus Lake, and downtown Chanhassen each have different setups and risks. Local knowledge matters when building coverage that fits.
We Stay Involved After the Policy Starts
Life changes. Associations change deductibles. Renovations happen.
We review your coverage over time so you are not stuck with outdated protection.
Common Condo Insurance Mistakes We See
People often think condo insurance is simple. It is not.
Here are mistakes we see all the time.
Assuming the Association Covers Everything
They usually do not. The interior of your unit and your liability are almost always your responsibility.
Not Carrying Loss Assessment Coverage
Special assessments can be thousands of dollars. Skipping this coverage saves very little and risks a lot.
Guessing at Coverage Limits
Choosing random limits often leaves people underinsured. We help calculate realistic numbers based on your unit and belongings.
Forgetting About Liability
One accident can cost far more than most people expect. Liability coverage is often the most valuable part of the policy.
Condo Insurance for Chanhassen Property Types
Not all condos are the same. Coverage needs change based on how you use the unit.
Owner-Occupied Condos
If you live in your unit full-time, your policy should reflect daily living risks, personal property, and liability exposure.
Seasonal or Second Homes
Coverage may need adjustments if the unit sits vacant for part of the year.
Rented Condos
If you rent out your condo, you need coverage that reflects that risk. A standard owner-occupied policy may not be enough.
We help sort this out before there is a problem.
How do we build the Right Policy?
Here’s what actually works.
- Review the condo association master policy
- Identify coverage gaps
- Calculate realistic personal property values
- Set liability limits that protect your assets
- Add loss assessment coverage based on association deductibles
- Compare options from multiple carriers
- Adjust based on budget and risk comfort
No guessing. No pressure.

An HO-6 policy is designed specifically for condo unit owners. It covers personal property, interior finishes, liability, and loss assessments.
How much condo insurance do I need?
It depends on your unit, belongings, and association policy. We help calculate this instead of guessing.
