HO-2Similar to HO-1, HO-2 is a limited policy in that it will cover only specific portions of a home against damage. The coverage is ordinarily a "named perils" policy, which lists the cases that would be covered. As above, these factors must be spelled come in the policy.

HO-3This policy is the most common one written for a owner and is designed to cover all aspects of the home, its structure and it contents.
