16. Insurance • Square Footage Implication • PLTA home owners are assessed insurance costs based on the original square footage of each unit. • The square footage is from the original 1970’s design of the units. • Each Home Owner should check their current square footage as assessed by www.galvestoncad.org • Click “Appraisal” and “Real Property” then enter your address.

17. Insurance • Square Footage Implication • Additional square footage of the unit is the responsibility of the owner. • Each unit that increases the original square footage by adding or extending a room should provide the new measurements to GCAD to maintain records of the unit size and value.

18. Insurance • Current Insurance Package • Flood Insurance • Windstorm Insurance • Fire Insurance • Umbrella Insurances • Insurance Provider • Galveston Insurance Associates (GIA) • (409) 740-1251 or (281) 442-1892 • www.tiny.cc/PLTA Written in Homeowner’s name. Written in PLTA’s name for each homeowner.

19. Insurance • Unit Coverage • PLTA Bylaws Section 13.03 Indicate the Association will Insure the following: (There is no reference to cause of damage) • Texture and painted walls - Counter Tops* • Cabinets (kitchen and bathrooms)* • $18.00/sq yd for floor coverings * The issue of Quality is usually predicated on the extent of damage to the ENTIRE complex. If one or a few units are damaged then replacement will PROBABLY be of “like quality.” Where as if the complex experiences wide spread damage replacement will be of “construction quality” similar to the original 1975 build out. This would be based on $X per sq ft building cost up to the limit of PLTA insurance. ($x could change every year based on costs of construction).

20. Insurance • Unit Coverage • Other “Fixed Items” Covered • Light fixtures - Ceiling Fans • Sinks & Faucets - Toilets and Tubs • Fixed Mirrors - Medicine Cabinets • A/C and Heating Units • “Non-Fixed” Items NOT Covered • Refrigerators - Microwave Ovens

21. Insurance • Owner’s Responsibility • Flood &Wind is vague about who covers what. • To Assure replacement, each owner should consider “Build Out” or “Alterations and Improvements” coverage in addition to contents coverage. • Coverage for items not normally moved upon selling: • Instant Hot Water appliances - Wine Coolers • Extensive Tile Coverings - Fireplaces • Built-in Bookshelves/Cabinets • Tub/Shower Fixtures of Higher than Normal Pricing • Intercom or Sound System and Security Systems GIA Insurance Representatives consider such items to be “Alterations and Improvements “ or “Build Out Items for definition of coverage .

Insurance • Owner Responsibility • Additional Structural Features Typically NOT Covered • Ground Floor unit and content • Hot water heater, refrigerators, electronics, … • Privacy Fencing • Outside Shower, Sink, and Cabinets • Outside Special Lighting and Ceiling Fans • Built-in Benches • Porch Swings • Plants and Shrubbery

23. Insurance • Owner Responsibility • When the Townhouse is a primary residence, supplemental insurance should be specified to pay for temporary living quarters while the unit is under restoration. • If Townhouse is a rental unit, a “Loss of Income” rider may be requested. (Difficult to obtain). • Golf Carts are rarely covered under a Home Owner Contents policy. Discuss the options regarding insurance on golf carts with your insurance agent.

24. Insurance • Record Keeping • For improved coverage and recovery of loss, the homeowner should maintain a written inventory of contents and attributes. An online Home Inventory “worksheet” can be found on the Insurance Information Institute (III) website; www.III.org • The Home Inventory Worksheet provides for descriptions, serial numbers, costs and photos of items and features covered by the supplemental policy. • A copy of the inventory details should be stored offsite in a secure place. Dealing with the insurance company is easier and faster when you have detailed information on covered items.
