Ho3 policy is more comprehensive and provides wider rage of coverage than the HO2 policies. HO3 is also known as the “all risks policy” and seems to be the default choice of the homeowners. But its not actually an “all risks policy”, i.e. it wouldn’t cover all the losses that might occur to your home, rather it would list out the perils which wouldn’t receive coverage under this plan. So, ho3 policy can also be called a “named exclusion policy”.
On the contrary, HO2 policy is the named perils policy, i.e. you would only receive coverage for the damages if only those were caused by the perils mentioned in the plan.

An ho3 policy also provides coverage to the additional structures attached to the house, like- the garage and storehouse. But both HO2 and HO3 wouldn't provide coverage for damages caused by earthquake and flood. Hence, residences of flood and earthquake prone areas are required to purchase additional coverage for these perils.

HO2 policies are setup for homes that are VERY old and could not (or it would be very expensive) be rebuilt with the same building materials. An example (unrealistic of course) would be if your home was built out of marble. HO2 would cover your property as though it was a normal home.
This particular form also has a much shorter list of covered perils.

Hi Liza, I think more or less the same perils are covered under both HO2 and HO3 the only difference is in the verbiage. HO2 state that it would offer coverage only for the perils mentioned in the plan, whereas the ho3 policy states that all are covered expect the mentioned few. But if you take a close look at the list of perils covered under the plans they are almost same. What do you say?

Have to correct the misinformation in this thread in a couple of areas. First of all:

I think you're referring to a HO-8/Market Value form, not a HO-2 policy. Next:

No. A HO3 Special Form contract offers "open-perils with exclusions" on the dwelling (NEVER USE "ALL-RISK!!!") and named perils on the insured's unscheduled personal property, or UPP.
A HO-2 Broad Form provides named perils coverage for both the dwelling and UPP.
Therefore the coverage differences between the two forms are huge on the dwelling portion of the contract.

Look at the 'named perils' in the HO2, that's the ONLY thing the dwelling is covered against...nothing else..that's it.

What exactly did you want to know. Liability (third party) claims are covered by an HO-3, as are personal property and dwelling coverage (first party) claims. There are all sorts of exclusions that you have to read the policy to know about.
