An HO-2 insurance policy covers homeowners on a named perils basis. This means that your policy will only cover damage caused by a peril that is specifically listed in the policy. If your home is damaged by an occurrence that is not specifically listed, it will likely not be covered.

In an HO2 policy, only perils listed in the policy are covered. In an HO3 policy, all perils are covered except for the exclusions listed in the policy. An HO2 is often called a “broad form policy,” whereas an HO3 is often called a “special form policy.”

An HO2 policy is another basic homeowners insurance policy. It covers the 10 perils listed on an HO1 policy, and some additional perils, including falling objects, and weight of snow, sleet, or ice. In total, it covers 16 perils. The HO2 provides more protection than the HO1, but not as much as an HO3.

HO1 and HO2 policies are examples of “named perils policies.” That means they only cover dangers that are specifically listed in the policy. HO3 policies are “open peril policies”. That means they'll cover all dangers except those specifically excluded in the policy documents.
