Liability Insurance
Fannie Mae’s project liability insurance requirements for condo, co-op, and PUD projects are as follows:
Liability insurance coverage is required and must be verified as part of the review of a condo or
co-op project with the exception of condo projects reviewed under the Limited Review method.
In addition, liability insurance coverage is also required and must be verified for attached units in
new PUD projects.
The HOA or co-op corporation must maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy for
the entire project, including all common areas and elements, public ways, and any other areas
that are under its supervision. The insurance must also cover commercial spaces that are owned
by
the HOA or co-op corporation, even if they are leased to others. The commercial general
liability insurance policy must provide coverage for bodily injury and property damage that results
from the operation, maintenance, or use of the project’s common areas and elements.
The amount of coverage must be at least $1 million for bodily injury and property damage for any
single occurrence.
If the policy does not include severability of interest/separation of insureds in its terms, Fannie
Mae requires a specific endorsement to preclude the insurer’s denial of a unit owner’s claim
because of negligent acts of the HOA or co-op corporation or of other unit owners.
The policy should provide for at least ten days’ written notice to the HOA or co-op corporati
on
bef
ore the insurer can cancel or substantially modify it. For condo and co-op projects, similar
notice also must be given to each holder of a first mortgage or share loan on an individual unit i
n
t
he project.
Flood Insurance Coverage Requirements
(See FNMA Website: https://www.fanniemae.com/content/guide/selling/b7/3/07.html
)
The minimum amount of flood insurance required for most first mortgages secured by one- to four-unit
properties, individual PUD units, and certain individual condo units (such as those in detached condos,
townhouses, or rowhouses) is the lowest of:
100% of the replacement cost of the insurable value of the improvements;
the maximum insurance available from the NFIP, which is currently $250,000 per dwelling; or
the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage.
If a first mortgage is secured by a unit in an attached condo, co-op, or PUD project and any part of the
improvements are in an SFHA, the lender must verify that the HOA or co-op corporation maintains a
master or blanket policy of flood insurance and provides for premiums to be paid as a common expense.
S
tand-alone flood insurance dwelling policies for an attached individual condo unit are not
acceptable. A master condo flood insurance policy must be maintained by the HOA, subject to the
coverage requirements below. (For detached units, refer to the requirements described in Coverage for
First Mortgages above.)
Condo projects:
The HOA must obtain a Residential Condominium Building Association Policy or equivalent private flood
insurance coverage for each building that is located in an SFHA. The policy must cover all of the common
elements and property (including machinery and equipment that are part of the building), as well as each
of the individual units in the building.
T
he master flood insurance policy must be at least equal to the lower of
80% of the replacement cost, or
the maximum insurance available from NFIP per unit (which is currently $250,000).
I
f the condo project master policy meets the minimum coverage requirements above but does not meet
the one- to four-unit coverage requirements (described in Coverage for First Mortgages), a supplemental
policy may be maintained by the unit owner for the difference.

The contents coverage should equal 100% of the insurable value of all contents (including machinery and
equipment that are not part of the building), owned in common by association members. If the condo
project has no master flood insurance policy or if the master flood insurance policy does not meet the
requirements above, mortgages securing units in that project are not eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae.
Note: DU Refi Plus and Refi Plus loans secured by units in a condo project are not required to meet the
flood insurance requirements for master flood insurance policies stated in this section. Rather, if no master
policy is in place, a standalone dwelling policy may be maintained by the unit owner to meet the full one-
to four-unit requirements. If the master policy is deficient (by any amount), a supplemental policy may be
maintained by the unit owner for the difference between the master policy and the one- to four-unit
requirements.
P
rojects Requiring Fidelity/Crime Insurance
Fidelity/crime insurance is required for all condo projects, with the following exceptions that do
not require fidelity/crime insurance:
condo projects reviewed under the Limited Review method,
condo or co-op projects consisting of 20 units or less, or
condo or co-op projects that would need fidelity/crime insurance coverage of $5,000 or less
(based on the calculations described in the Amount of Coverage below).
Note: In states that have statutory fidelity/crime insurance requirements, Fannie Mae accepts those
requirements in place of its own.
R
equirements for Who Must Be Covered
The HOA or co-op corporation must have blanket fidelity/crime insurance coverage for anyone who either
handles or is responsible for funds that it holds or administers, whether or not that individual receives
compensation for services, including coverage for a management agent. The insurance policy must name
the HOA or co-op corporation as the insured and the premiums should be paid as a common expense by
the association or corporation. A management agent that handles funds for the HOA or co-op corporation
should additionally be covered by its own fidelity/crime insurance policy, which should provide the same
coverage required of the HOA or co-op corporation.
Amount of Coverage
The HOA or co-op corporation policy must cover the maximum funds that are in the custody of the HOA
or co-op corporation or its management agent at any time while the policy is in force. Fidelity/crime
insurance is not required if the maximum estimated funds are less than or equal to $5,000. A lesser
amount of coverage is acceptable if the project’s legal documents require, or another source acceptable
to the lender verifies, that the HOA or co-op corporation and any management company adheres to one
or more of the following financial controls:
Separate bank accounts are maintained for the working account and the reserve account, each
with appropriate access controls, and the bank in which funds are deposited sends copies of the
monthly bank statements directly to the HOA or co-op corporation.
The management company maintains separate records and bank accounts for each HOA or co-
op corporation that uses its services, and the management company does not have the authority
to draw checks on, or transfer funds from, the reserve account of the HOA or co-op corporation.
Two members of the Board of Directors must sign any checks written on the reserve account.
Even then, the fidelity/crime insurance coverage must equal at least the sum of three months of
assessments on all units in the project, unless this calculated amount is less than or equal t
o
$5,
000, in which case fidelity/crime insurance is not required.
