There are many different types of Common Interest Developments (CIDs) — homeowners associations (HOAs), condominium complexes, townhome communities, and Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). What they share is the need for specialized insurance that protects shared property, elected boards, managers, and volunteers while matching each association’s governance and operations.
MGAlive offers a focused Common Interest Development Insurance Program built for agents and brokers who place HOA, condo, townhome, and PUD accounts. As a Program Administrator with access to multiple national carriers, MGAlive provides flexible placement options for both standard and non-standard exposures, faster turnaround through automated programs, and underwriting that understands community associations.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is a fit for community associations of many sizes and operating models, including:
Homeowners Associations (HOAs)
Condominium complexes
Townhome communities
Residential Planned Unit Developments (PUDs)
MGAlive accommodates associations that are entirely volunteer-run as well as those that employ maintenance or administrative staff. Whether the client has no payroll, a small on-site crew, or multiple service contractors, the program can address core Workers’ Compensation and community liability needs.
We also offer non-standard general liability markets for common association vendors and contractors — artisan contractors, janitorial services, garage keepers, in-home businesses, and handymen — which is useful when an association hires or contracts out maintenance and operations.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Key components of the CID Insurance Program include:
"If-Any" Workers’ Compensation coverage for HOAs and condominiums with no payroll
Standard Workers’ Compensation for associations with payroll
Board member and volunteer liability protection at no additional cost
Access to national markets for major lines including:
Property
General Liability
Directors & Officers (D&O)
Crime
Umbrella
Difference in Conditions (DIC) including earthquake and flood
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting is guided by payroll, property values, claims history, and vendor exposures. For Workers’ Compensation, the program requires a minimum premium of $1,000 based on total payroll. Note that Workers’ Compensation is not available through this program in monopolistic states (North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, Wyoming); other lines of coverage may still be placed depending on market availability in those states.

Example Accounts
You have a volunteer-run HOA with common-area landscaping and a small reserves budget — place "If-Any" Workers’ Compensation to protect board members and volunteers while arranging property and liability limits appropriate for common areas.
You work with a multi-building condominium association that employs maintenance staff and uses multiple outside contractors — place standard Workers’ Compensation, property, D&O, and vendor liability through MGAlive’s market access to create a cohesive program.
