Under an HO-B policy, what is the limit of liability for personal property?

Under an HO-B (Homeowners-2) policy, the limit of liability for personal property is indeed typically set at a certain threshold known as the "Coverage C" limit. This coverage generally provides for personal property owned or used by the insured, with specific dollar values that can differ based on the individual policy and the insured's choices.

The reasoning behind a limit of $500 is tied to standard policy structures in which minimal coverage is set. This amount often serves as a base limit for situations where personal property is subject to a liability claim, especially when considering the overall context of a homeowner's policy.

In contrast, higher amounts like $1,000 or $10,000 would generally represent upgraded or additional coverage that an insured could purchase as endorsements or increased limits. These higher limits might encompass either specialized items or a broader spectrum of coverage beyond the bare minimum provided by standard policies.
