• Public liability insurance for the common elements.
• Fidelity bond or insurance for the people responsible for handling funds belonging to the Association.
  
  

The residential owners shall obtain personal insurance coverage for the interior of the unit, personal property and owner’s personal liability.

Assessments

The Association will determine annually a budget for the administrator, operation and maintenance, insurance and other expenses for the year and charge each residential owner equally to cover the expenses.
