Quoting and selling notes

  • Three versions exist (HO 04 26, HO 04 27, HO 04 28) keyed to the different policy forms.

Editions and availability

Editions in use and where they apply: 03 22 (36 jurisdictions); 05 11 (4 jurisdictions: AL, CA, HI, VI); 04 02 (1 jurisdiction: PR).

Homeowners endorsements are built for a specific program edition. When a carrier moves a state from the 2011 (05 11) program to the 2022 (03 22) program, the endorsement editions move with it, so match the endorsement edition to the policy form edition shown on the declarations.
