On a DP-3 Dwelling Property Special Form policy, how does personal property coverage compare to the DP-2 Broad Form?

The personal property coverage in a DP-3 Dwelling Property Special Form policy is indeed the same as that provided in the DP-2 Broad Form policy. Both policies offer coverage for personal property on a named peril basis, meaning that they provide protection against specific risks such as theft, fire, and other listed hazards.

In contrast to the DP-1 policy, which offers limited coverage primarily on a basic form, the DP-2 and DP-3 policies expand on this by including more perils. The DP-3 is unique in that it offers open peril coverage for the dwelling itself, meaning it covers all risks unless explicitly excluded, but this does not affect the personal property coverage, which remains consistent with the DP-2's named perils approach.

Understanding this equivalence in personal property coverage is vital for policyholders when considering which policy best fits their needs, as it influences the protection of their personal belongings within the dwelling.
