In Florida, a townhome is either insured as a single-family home (through an HO3 policy), or as a condominium (an HO6). The type of property insurance you need is dependent on how your community is insured as a whole. For example, if your bylaws state that your HOA covers roof replacement, it is likely you will only need to purchase condo insurance, or a "walls-in" HO6 policy to cover your personal property and items within the unit itself like walls and fixtures.
