McGowan Program Administrators Community Associations Umbrella Insurance McGowan Program Administrators (MPA) offers a specialized Community Associations Umbrella Insurance program tailored for agents and brokers placing community association business. With broad eligibility, flexible underwriting and high-limit capacity, this program fills gaps in primary coverage and provides excess protection for a wide range of residential and mixed-use associations across the U.S. Ideal Accounts and Target Classes Eligible Classes: Condominium Associations Homeowners Associations (HOAs) Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) Townhome Associations Property Owners Associations Cooperatives Master Associations This program is designed for associations that require higher liability limits or broader excess protection. It works well for single-site associations as well as large master-planned communities and portfolios that need consistent excess placement across multiple locations. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Products Offered: Umbrella Liability Limits Available: $1MM – $100MM Required Underlying Rating: A- / VII (exceptions can be considered based on account quality) Key program features: Defense Costs Outside the Limits — Defense expenses are paid in addition to the policy limit, helping preserve indemnity limits. No Shared Limits — Each insured receives a separate policy and policy number for clearer limits and claims handling. No Exclusion for Real Estate Managers — Third-party property managers can be included, reducing coverage gaps for associations that use outside managers. Aggregates Per Location — Important for associations with multiple buildings or sites where location-based aggregation matters. Available “Follow Form” Coverages: Directors & Officers (including Employment Practices Liability) Automobile Liability Employers Liability These follow-form options allow the umbrella to align with a broad set of underlying policies for consistent excess protection. Underwriting Notes MPA partners with multiple carriers to provide flexible underwriting solutions. While an A- / VII underlying carrier is standard, high-quality accounts with strong risk controls may qualify for exceptions. The program supports a wide spectrum of risks — from small condo associations to complex master associations and account portfolios. Typical considerations include the size and financial strength of the association, claims history, property exposures, and management arrangements. Practical examples: You might have a condo association with limited primary limits and significant common-area exposures that needs $10M in umbrella capacity to meet contractual requirements and protect the board and members. You might place a large master association that requires location-based aggregates across several neighborhoods and follows form over D&O and auto liabilities for consolidated excess protection. Territories and Availability This program is available nationwide, including all 50 states and Washington, DC. MPA can bind coverage for coastal and inland risks alike and supports placements across the listed states. Why Work With McGowan Program Administrators?
