What is an HO-5 policy?
What is an HO-5 policy?
I'm shopping around for home insurance and I keep seeing an HO-5 policy. What is an HO-5 policy?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“An HO-5 policy is also known as
Comprehensive Form
. An HO-5 policy gives the broadest form of homeowners coverage as it’s on an
open-perils
basis.
When a policy is open perils, everything is covered
unless
it’s
specifically
excluded. Think of it as the equivalent of a full coverage
car insurance
policy.
If you’d like premium coverage for your home, consider getting an HO-5 policy.
If you want to get the highest home insurance coverage but worry about the price, use
