Communities of property owners and buildings are exposed every day to multiple risks which require the availability of urgent and necessary services.  It is therefore important to take out insurance
called in Spanish “seguro de comunidad” for the peace of mind of all property owners. In Spain, communities and building insurance is not compulsory at national level, although it is strongly recommended.

According to the Horizontal Property Law (LPH): Art 9: “it is necessary to have a reserve fund; an annual sum to cover conservation and repair work on the building or work resulting from fires or floods.” With the reserve fund, the co-ownership can sign an insurance contract covering the common parts.
