Whether you own a condo in downtown Atlanta, a lakeside property in Gainesville, or a coastal unit near Savannah, protecting your investment matters. Mercury Insurance offers affordable, reliable Georgia condo insurance designed to safeguard your home, your belongings, and your peace of mind.
What Does Condo Insurance Cover in Georgia?
A Georgia condo insurance policy, often called an HO-6 policy, provides “walls-in” coverage to protect what your association’s master policy doesn’t. While your condo association covers the building’s exterior and shared spaces, Mercury’s policy protects everything that makes your unit feel like home.
Your Mercury HO-6 policy can include:
- Personal property: Covers furniture, clothing, electronics, and other belongings if they’re damaged or stolen.
- Interior structures: Protects what’s inside your walls, such as flooring, cabinets, lighting, and built-in appliances.
- Personal liability: Helps pay for injuries or property damage you’re legally responsible for.
- Additional living expenses: Covers temporary housing and meals if your condo becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.
Georgia’s weather can be unpredictable, ranging from powerful thunderstorms and tornadoes to occasional coastal hurricanes. While your Mercury policy covers many weather-related losses, flood damage is typically excluded. Ask your local agent about adding separate flood coverage for complete protection.
Optional Condo Coverages
Mercury allows you to tailor your Georgia condo insurance policy with optional coverages to fit your needs. Consider adding these protections for greater security:
- Loss assessment: Helps pay for your share of assessments charged by your condo association to cover major repairs to common areas after a covered loss.
- Guest medical protection: Pays for medical expenses if a guest is accidentally injured on your property, regardless of who’s at fault.
- Workers’ comp coverage: Covers medical expenses for part-time domestic employees, such as housekeepers or nannies, if they are injured while working in your condo.
- Condos rented to others: Provides liability and contents coverage for your unit if you decide to rent it out.
What Factors Determine Your Condo Insurance Rate?
Your Georgia condo insurance premium depends on several factors. Knowing what affects your rate can help you make smart coverage choices.
Location:
Condos in coastal areas or regions prone to hurricanes may cost more to insure.
Value of personal property:
The higher the value of your belongings, the more coverage you’ll need.
Claims history:
Fewer claims can help keep your rates lower.
Building construction:
Newer buildings or those made from fire-resistant materials may qualify for discounts.

Georgia Condo Insurance FAQs
What does a Georgia condo owner policy (HO-6) cover?
A Georgia HO-6 policy covers your personal belongings, interior fixtures (like cabinets and flooring), liability for accidents, and additional living expenses if your unit is unlivable after a covered loss. It provides “walls-in” coverage that your condo association’s master policy doesn't.
How much does condo insurance cost in Georgia?

Mercury is known for offering some of the most affordable rates in the state, and you can lower your premium further with our available discounts. Contact a local Georgia agent for a personalized quote.
What kind of insurance is needed for a condo in Georgia?
In Georgia, you need an HO-6 policy, also known as condominium insurance. This policy is specifically designed for condo owners and works together with your condo association’s master policy to ensure you have comprehensive protection for your unit and your personal assets.
Is condo insurance required in Georgia?
Condo insurance isn’t required by Georgia state law for every owner, but most mortgage lenders and many HOAs do require it. Your association’s master policy typically only covers the building and common areas, so a condo (HO-6) policy is strongly recommended to protect your belongings, interior finishes, and liability.
Are condos more expensive to insure in Georgia?
Condo insurance is generally less expensive than Georgia homeowners insurance because it only covers the interior of your unit, not the entire building. However, rates in Georgia can be influenced by local risks such as proximity to the coast or areas prone to severe weather. Mercury helps offset these costs by providing competitive rates and numerous discounts.
What is the rule of thumb for Georgia condo insurance?
A good rule of thumb is to purchase enough personal property coverage to replace all your belongings and enough liability coverage to protect your assets. It’s also wise to review your condo association’s master policy to understand what it covers, so you can fill any gaps with your personal HO-6 policy. A Mercury agent can help you determine the right coverage amounts.
How can I find the cheapest condo insurance in GA?
To help find cheaper condo insurance in Georgia, compare quotes, consider a higher deductible you can afford, and review your HOA’s master policy so you only buy the coverage you need. You can also save by bundling condo and auto insurance and asking about available discounts, then starting an online quote or working with a Mercury agent to tailor a budget-friendly policy.
