CONDO 1 OctOber 1, 2011
Important Notice to Agents/Producers:
Boards of directors of condominium associations typically are responsible under their by-laws for maintaining all
forms of property insurance necessary to protect the common property of the association against all hazards
to which that property is exposed for the insurable value/replacement cost of those common elements. This
responsibility would typically include providing adequate flood insurance protection for all common property
located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). Such by-law requirements could make the individual members of
the boards of directors of such associations personally liable for insurance errors or omissions, including those
relating to flood insurance.
CONDOMINIUMS
I. METHODS OF INSURING CONDOMINIUMS
There are 4 methods of insuring condominiums
under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Each method has its own eligibility requirements for
condominium type. Only residential buildings having
a condominium form of ownership are eligible for
the Residential Condominium Building Association
Policy (RCBAP).
A. Residential Condominium: Association Coverage
on Building and Contents
A condominium association is the corporate entity
responsible for the management and operation of
a condominium. Membership is made up of the
condominium unit owners. A condominium association
may purchase insurance coverage on a residential
building and its contents under the RCBAP. The
RCBAP covers only a residential condominium building
in a Regular Program community. If the named insured
is listed as other than a condominium association,
the agent/producer must provide legal documentation
to confirm that the insured is a condominium
association. (See the Eligibility Requirements
subsection in this section.)
B. Residential Condominium: Unit Owner’s
Coverage on Building and Contents
A residential condominium unit in a high-rise or low-
rise building, including a townhouse or rowhouse,
is considered to be a single-family residence. An
individual dwelling unit in a condominium building may
be insured in any 1 of the following 4 ways:
1. An individual unit and its contents may be
separately insured under the Dwelling Form, in the
name of the unit owner, at the limits of insurance
for a single-family dwelling.
2. An individual unit may be separately insured under
the Dwelling Form, if purchased by the association
in the name of the unit owner and the association
as their interests may appear, up to the limits of
insurance for a single-family dwelling.
3. An individual unit owned by the association may
be separately insured under the Dwelling Form, if
purchased by the condominium association. The
single-family limits of insurance apply.
4. An individual non-residential unit owner may not
purchase building coverage. However, contents-
only coverage can be purchased either under
the General Property Form or the Dwelling Form,
depending on the type of contents.
A policy on a condominium unit will be issued naming
the unit owner and the association, as their interests
may appear. Coverage under a unit owner’s policy
applies first to the individually owned building elements
and improvements to the unit and then to the damage
of the building’s common elements that are the unit
owner’s responsibility.
In the event of a loss, the claim payment to an individual
unit owner may not exceed the maximum allowable in
the Program.
C. Non-Residential (Commercial) Condominium:
Building and Contents
Non-residential (commercial) condominium buildings
and their commonly owned contents may be insured
in the name of the association under the General
Property Form. The “non-residential” limits apply.
D. Non-Residential (Commercial) Condominium:
Unit Owner’s Coverage (Contents)
The owner of a non-residential or residential
condominium unit within a non-residential condominium
building may purchase only contents coverage for that
unit. Building coverage may not be purchased in the
name of the unit owner.
In the event of a loss, up to 10% of the stated amount
of contents coverage can be applied to losses to
condominium interior walls, floors, and ceilings. The
10% is not an additional amount of insurance.

CONDO 5 OctOber 1, 2011
II. RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM BUILDING
ASSOCIATION POLICY (RCBAP) FORM
The policy form used for the residential condominium
buildings owned by a condominium association is
the RCBAP.
III. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
A. General Building Eligibility
In order for a condominium building to be eligible under
the RCBAP form, the building must be owned by a
condominium association, which the NFIP defines as
the entity made up of the unit owners responsible for
the maintenance and operation of:
1. common elements owned in undivided shares by
unit owners; and
2. other real property in which the unit owners have
use rights
where membership in the entity is a required condition
of unit ownership.
The RCBAP is required for all buildings owned by a
condominium association containing 1 or more
residential units and in which at least 75% of the
total floor area within the building is residential
without regard to the number of units or number of
floors. The RCBAP is available for high-rise and low-
rise residential condominium buildings, including
townhouse/rowhouse and detached single-family
condominium buildings in the Regular Program only.
(See pages CONDO 3 and 4.)
Residential condominium buildings that are being used
as a hotel or motel, or are being rented (either short or
long term), must be insured under the RCBAP.
Only buildings having a condominium form of ownership
are eligible for the RCBAP. If the named insured is listed
as other than a condominium association, the agent/
producer must provide legal documentation to confirm
that the insured is a condominium association before
the RCBAP can be written. This documentation may be
a copy of the condominium association by-laws or a
statement signed by an officer or representative of the
condominium association confirming that the building
is in a condominium form of ownership. In the event of
a loss, RCBAPs written for buildings found not to be in a
condominium form of ownership will be rewritten under
the correct policy form for up to the maximum amount
of building coverage allowed under the program for the
type of building insured, not to exceed the coverage
purchased under the RCBAP.
A homeowners association (HOA) may differ from a
condominium association and is ineligible for the RCBAP,
unless the HOA meets the definition of a condominium
association as defined in the policy. Cooperative
ownership buildings are not eligible. Timeshare buildings
in a condominium form of ownership in jurisdictions
where title is vested in individual unit owners are eligible
provided that all other criteria are met.
If, during a policy term, the risk fails to meet the
eligibility requirements due to a change in the form
of ownership, it will be ineligible for coverage under
the RCBAP. The policy will be canceled and rewritten
using the correct Standard Flood Insurance Policy
(SFIP) form. The effective date of cancellation will
be the date on which the change in the form of
ownership occurred.
If an RCBAP was issued for a risk that was ineligible for
the RCBAP, the policy is void and the coverage must
be written under the correct form. The provisions of
the correct SFIP form apply. The coverage limits must
be reformed according to the provisions of the correct
SFIP form and cannot exceed the coverage limits
originally issued under the incorrect policy.
The NFIP has grouped condominium buildings into 2
different types, low-rise and high-rise, because of the
difference in the exposures to the risk that typically
exists. Low-rise buildings generally have a greater
percentage of the value of the building at risk than high-
rise buildings, thus requiring higher premiums for the
first dollars of coverage. The availability of the optional
deductibles for the low-rise buildings, however, allows
the association to buy back some of the risk, thereby
reducing the overall cost of the coverage.
For rating purposes:
High-rise buildings contain 5 or more units and at
least 3 floors excluding enclosure, even if it is the
lowest floor for rating.
Low-rise buildings have fewer than 5 units regardless
of the number of floors, or 5 or more units with fewer
than 3 floors, including the basement.
Townhouse/rowhouse buildings are always considered
low-rise buildings for rating purposes, no matter how
many units or floors they have.
See the Definitions section in this manual for complete
definitions of high-rise and low-rise buildings.
Individual unit owners continue to have an option to
purchase an SFIP Dwelling Form.
B. Condominium Building in the Course of
Construction
The NFIP rules allow the issuance of an SFIP to cover a
building in the course of construction before the building
is walled and roofed. These rules provide lenders an
CONDO 6 May 1, 2011
option to require flood insurance coverage at the time
that the development loan is made to comply with the
mandatory purchase requirement outlined in the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The
policy is issued and rated based on the construction
designs and intended use of the building.
In order for a condominium building in the course of
construction to be eligible under the RCBAP form, the
building must be owned by a condominium association.
As noted in the General Rules section, buildings in the
course of construction that have yet to be walled and
roofed are eligible for coverage except when construction
has been halted for more than 90 days and/or if the
lowest floor used for rating purposes is below the Base
Flood Elevation (BFE). Materials or supplies intended
for use in such construction, alteration, or repair are not
insurable unless they are contained within an enclosed
building on the premises or adjacent to the premises.
IV. COVERAGE
A. Property Covered
The entire building is covered under 1 policy, including
both the common as well as individually owned building
elements within the units, improvements within the
units, and contents owned in common. Contents
owned by individual unit owners should be insured
under an individual unit owner’s Dwelling Form.
B. Coverage Limits
Building coverage purchased under the RCBAP will be
on a Replacement Cost basis.
The maximum amount of building coverage that can
be purchased on a high-rise or low-rise condominium
is the Replacement Cost Value (RCV) of the building or
the total number of units in the condominium building
times $250,000, whichever is less.
The maximum allowable contents coverage is the Actual
Cash Value (ACV) of the commonly owned contents up
to a maximum of $100,000 per building.
Basic Limit Amount:
1. The building basic limit amount of insurance
for a detached building housing a single-family
unit owned by the condominium association is
$60,000.
2. For residential townhouse/rowhouse and low-rise
condominiums, the building basic limit amount of
insurance is $60,000 multiplied by the number of
units in the building.
3. For high-rise condominiums, the building basic
amount of insurance is $175,000.
4. The contents basic limit amount of insurance is
$25,000.
5. For condominium unit owners who have insured
their personal property under the Dwelling Form
or General Property Form, coverage extends to
interior walls, floor, and ceiling (if not covered
under the condominium associations insurance)
up to 10% of the personal property limit of
liability. Use of this coverage is at the option of
the insured and reduces the personal property
limit of liability.
C. Replacement Cost
The RCBAP’s building coverage is on a Replacement
Cost valuation basis. RCV means the cost to replace
property with the same kind of material and construction
without deduction for depreciation. A condominium unit
owner’s Dwelling Form policy provides Replacement
Cost coverage on the building if eligibility requirements
are met.
D. Coinsurance
The RCBAPs coinsurance penalty is applied to building
coverage only. To the extent that the insured has
not purchased insurance in an amount equal to the
lesser of 80% or more of the full replacement cost
of the building at the time of loss or the maximum
amount of insurance under the NFIP, the insured will
not be reimbursed fully for a loss. Building coverage
purchased under individual Dwelling Forms cannot
be added to RCBAP coverage in order to avoid the
coinsurance penalty. The amount of loss in this case
will be determined by using the following formula:
Insurance Carried
Insurance Required
× Amount of Loss = Limit of Recovery
Where the penalty applies, building loss under the
RCBAP will be adjusted based on the Replacement
Cost Coverage with a coinsurance penalty. Building
loss under the Dwelling Form will be adjusted on an
ACV basis if the Replacement Cost provision is not
met. The cost of bringing the building into compliance
with local codes (law and ordinance) is not included in
the calculation of replacement cost.
E. Assessment Coverage
The RCBAP Form and General Property Form do not
provide assessment coverage.
Assessment coverage is available only under the
Dwelling Form subject to the conditions and exclusions
found in Section III. Property Covered, Coverage C,
CONDO 7 May 1, 2011
paragraph 3 Condominium Loss Assessments.
The Dwelling Form will respond, up to the building
coverage limit, to assessments against unit owners for
damages to common areas of any building owned by
the condominium association, even if the building is
not insured, provided that: (1) each of the unit owners
comprising the membership of the association is
assessed by reason of the same cause; and (2) the
assessment arises out of a direct physical loss by or
from flood to the condominium building at the time of
the loss.
Assessment coverage cannot be used to meet the
80% coinsurance provision of the RCBAP, and does
not apply to ICC coverage or to coverage for closed
basin lakes.
In addition, assessment coverage cannot be used to
pay a loss assessment resulting from a deductible
under the RCBAP.
For more information on this topic, see “E. Loss
Assessments” in the General Rules section and
Section III. C.3. of the Dwelling Form, “Condominium
Loss Assessments,” in the Policy section.
V. DEDUCTIBLES AND FEES
A. Deductibles
The loss deductible shall apply separately to each
building and personal property covered loss, including
any appurtenant structure loss. The Standard Deductible
is $2,000 for a residential condominium building, located
in a Regular Program community in SFHAs, i.e., zones A,
AO, AH, A1–A30, AE, AR, AR dual zones (AR/AE, AR/AH,
AR/AO, AR/A1–A30, AR/A), V, V1V30, or VE, where the
rates available for buildings built before the effective
date of the initial Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Pre-
FIRM rates, are used to compute the premium.
For all policies rated other than those described above,
e.g., those rated as Post-FIRM and those rated in zones
A99, B, C, D, or X, the Standard Deductible is $1,000.
Optional deductible amounts are available under the
RCBAP; see Table 7 in this section.
B. Federal Policy Fee
The Federal Policy Fees for the RCBAP are:
1 unit . . . . . . . . . . . . . $40 per policy
2–4 units . . . . . . . . . . $80 per policy
5–10 units . . . . . . . . $200 per policy
11–20 units . . . . . . . . $440 per policy
21 or more units . . . . $840 per policy
VI. TENTATIVE RATES AND SCHEDULED
BUILDINGS
Tentative Rates cannot be applied to the RCBAP.
The Scheduled Building Policy is not available for
the RCBAP.
VII. COMMISSIONS (DIRECT BUSINESS ONLY)
The commission, 15%, will be reduced to 5% on only
that portion of the premium that exceeds the figure
resulting from multiplying the total number of units
times $2,000.
VIII. CANCELLATION OR ENDORSEMENT OF UNIT
OWNERS’ DWELLING POLICIES
Unit owners’ policies written under the Dwelling Form
may be canceled mid-term for the reasons mentioned
in the Cancellation/Nullification section of this manual.
To cancel building coverage while retaining contents
coverage on a unit owner’s policy, submit a general
change request. In the event of a cancellation:
The commission on a unit owner’s policy will be
retained, in full, by the agent/producer;
The Federal Policy Fee and Probation Surcharge will
be refunded on a pro-rata basis; and
The premium refund will be calculated on a
pro-rata basis.
An existing policy written under the Dwelling Form or
RCBAP Form may be endorsed to increase amounts of
coverage in accordance with Endorsement rules. They
may not be endorsed mid-term to reduce coverage.
IX. APPLICATION FORM
The agent/producer should complete the entire Flood
Insurance Application according to the directions in the
Application section of this manual and attach 2 new
photographs of the building, 1 of which clearly shows
the location of the lowest floor used for rating the risk.
A. Type of Building
For an RCBAP, the “Building” section of the Flood
Insurance Application must indicate the total number
of units in the building and whether the building is a
high-rise or low-rise.
High-rise (vertical) condominium buildings are defined
as containing at least 5 units and having at least 3
floors. Note that an enclosure below an elevated floor
building, even if it is the lowest floor for rating purposes,
cannot be counted as a floor to classify the building as
a high-rise condominium building.
CONDO 8 OctOber 1, 2011
Low-rise condominium buildings are defined as having
fewer than 5 units and/or fewer than 3 floors. Low-rise
also includes all townhouses/rowhouses regardless of
the number of floors or units, and all detached single-
family buildings.
For a Dwelling Form used to insure a condominium unit,
see the Application section of this manual.
B. Replacement Cost Value
For an RCBAP, use normal company practice to
estimate the RCV and enter the value in the “Building
section of the Application. Include the cost of the
building foundation when determining the RCV. Attach
the appropriate valuation to the Application.
Acceptable documentation of a buildings RCV is a
recent property valuation report that states the value of
the building, including its foundation, on an RCV basis.
The cost of bringing the building into compliance with
local codes (law and ordinance) is not to be included
in the calculation of the building’s replacement cost.
To maintain reasonable accuracy of the RCV for
the building, the agent/producer must update this
information and provide it to the insurer at least every
3 years. (See sample notification letter regarding
updating RCV on page CONDO 9.)
C. Coverage
Ensure that the “Coverage and Rating” section of the
Application accurately reflects the desired amount of
building and contents coverage.
If only building insurance is to be purchased, inform the
applicant of the availability of contents insurance for
contents that are commonly owned. It is recommended
that the applicant initial the contents coverage section
if no contents insurance is requested. (This will make
the applicant aware that the policy will not provide
payment for contents losses.)
1. Building
Enter the amount of insurance for building, Basic
and Additional Limits. Enter full Basic Limits before
entering any Additional Limits.
The building Basic Limit amount of insurance
for high-rise condominium buildings is up to a
maximum of $175,000.
The building Basic Limit amount of insurance for low-
rise condominium buildings is $60,000 multiplied
by the number of units in the building. The total
amount of coverage desired on the entire building
must not exceed $250,000 (Regular Program limit)
times the total number of units (residential and
non-residential) in the building.
2. Contents
Since the Program type must be Regular, enter
the amount of insurance for contents, Basic and
Additional Limits. Enter full Basic Limits before any
Additional Limits. Contents coverage purchased by
the association is for only those contents items that
are commonly owned. For the Basic Limits amount
of insurance, up to a maximum of $25,000 may
be filled in. For the Additional Limits, up to a total
of $75,000 may be filled in. The total amount of
insurance available for contents coverage cannot
exceed $100,000.
D. Rates and Fees
1. To determine rates, see the RCBAP Rate Tables
on the following pages. Enter the rate for building
and for contents and compute the annual
premium. If an optional deductible has been
selected for building and/or contents, see Table
7 in this section.
2. Enter the total premium for building and contents,
adjusted for any premium change because of
an optional deductible being selected. The total
premium will be calculated as if the building were
1 unit.
3. Add the total premium for building and contents
and enter the Annual Subtotal.
4. Add the Increased Cost of Compliance
(ICC) Premium.
5. Calculate the Community Rating System (CRS)
discount, if applicable.
6. Subtract the CRS discount, if applicable.
7. Add the $50 Probation Surcharge, if applicable.
8. Add the Federal Policy Fee to determine the Total
Prepaid Amount.

Sample RCV Notification Letter
IMPORTANT FLOOD INSURANCE POLICY INFORMATION
Agent’s Name:
Agent’s Address:
Re: Insured’s Name:
Property Address:
Policy Number:
Dear Agent:
The letter is to inform you that the Replacement Cost Value (RCV) on file for the building referenced above,
insured under the Residential Condominium Building Association Policy (RCBAP), must now be updated. The
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requires that the RCV be evaluated every 3 years; it has been at least
3 years since the RCV for the building has been updated.
The RCV as currently listed on the above-referenced policy is <INSERT CURRENT RCV>. The amount of
building coverage on the policy is <INSERT CURRENT BUILDING COVERAGE>.
If the RCV indicated above needs to be revised, you must provide new documentation showing the revised RCV.
Acceptable documentation of the building’s RCV is a recent property valuation report that states the building’s
value, including the foundation, on an RCV basis.
If the RCV has not changed, you must provide either new RCV documentation or a statement signed by an officer

rate table if the rates are more favorable to the insured. See instructions in the Rating section for V-Zone Optional Rating.
2 Free of Obstruction – The space below the lowest elevated floor must be completely free of obstructions or any attachment to the
building, or may have:
(1) Insect screening, provided that no additional supports are required for the screening; or
(2) Wooden or plastic lattice with at least 40% of its area open and made of material no thicker than ½ inch; or
(3) Wooden or plastic slats or shutters with at least 40% of their area open and made of material no thicker than 1 inch.
(4) One solid breakaway wall or a garage door, with the remaining sides of the enclosure constructed of insect screening, wooden or
plastic lattice, slats, or shutters.
Any of these systems must be designed and installed to collapse under stress without jeopardizing the structural support of the
building, so that the impact on the building of abnormally high tides or wind-driven water is minimized. Any machinery or equipment
below the lowest elevated floor must be at or above the BFE.
3 Wave height adjustment is not required in those cases where the Flood Insurance Rate Map indicates that the map
includes wave height.

2 Rates provided are only for elevated buildings, except those elevated on solid perimeter foundation walls. For buildings elevated on solid
perimeter foundation walls, and for non-elevated buildings, use the Specific Rating Guidelines document.
3 With Obstruction – The space below has an area of less than 300 square feet with breakaway solid walls or contains equipment below
the BFE. If the space below has an area of 300 square feet or more, or if any portion of the space below the elevated floor is enclosed
with non-breakaway walls, submit for rating. If the enclosure is at or above the BFE, use the “Free of Obstruction” rate table on the
preceding page. The elevation of the bottom enclosure floor is the lowest floor for rating (LFE). See the Rating section for details.
4 Wave height adjustment is not required in those cases where the Flood Insurance Rate Map indicates that the map includes
wave height.
5 For buildings with obstruction, use Submit-for-Rate procedures if the enclosure below the lowest elevated floor of an elevated building,
which is used for rating, is 1 or more feet below the BFE.

dollar premium, round up if 50¢ or more; round down if less. Always submit gross premium.
