Ordinance or Law Endorsement for Home or Business
Typical homeowner’s insurance is in place to cover the costs of damage to your home. If a new building code was instituted and your home or business location was damaged, you may be required to upgrade to meet those new standards.
With ordinance or law coverage, any extended replacement cost for meeting the code. With this coverage, you will also be protected if you need to tear down and replace other sections of your home for the entire structure to be brought up to code, even if they were not damaged.
Ordinance or Law coverage for homeowners
The misconception is that ordinance or law coverage is just for old homes. Building codes change constantly, and unless your home is brand new, there is a significant chance local laws have changed. Without ordinance or law coverage, any extended replacement cost for meeting the code is not covered by standard home insurance and will come out of your pocket.
