Key Focus Areas
What Boards Should Review Now
2026 planning is not only about deadlines. It is about understanding how reserve studies, master policy structure, deductibles, wind exposure, and documentation practices affect the association’s financial risk profile.
Reserve and SIRS readiness
Confirm whether reserve planning assumptions, maintenance responsibilities, and capital project timing align with the association’s broader insurance and funding strategy.
Policy and document alignment
Review master property, flood, liability, umbrella, and ordinance considerations alongside governing documents so coverage expectations are clear before renewal or claim activity.
Common Compliance Questions
Use these answers as a starting point for board education and policy review preparation.
Why does 2026 planning matter now?
Because associations often need time to review reserve findings, evaluate carrier expectations, discuss deductibles, and coordinate board decisions before renewal pressure increases.
Does compliance automatically mean the association is fully insured?
No. Compliance and insurance adequacy are related but separate issues. Boards should still evaluate limits, exclusions, valuation assumptions, and catastrophe exposure.
What documents should boards gather for a policy review?
Start with current policies, loss runs, reserve or structural reports, governing documents, recent appraisal information, and details on major repairs or planned capital projects.
How does the master policy affect unit owners?
The master policy can shape owner expectations around deductibles, interior coverage responsibilities, and where HO-6 policies may need to respond after a loss.
Should hurricane exposure be part of compliance planning?
Yes. Windstorm readiness, remediation planning, vendor coordination, and post-storm claims procedures can materially affect both financial resilience and insurance outcomes.
When should a board request guidance?
Ideally before renewal season or major budget decisions, so the board has time to compare options and address gaps without rushing critical decisions.
