Fine print gaps in homeowner replacement cost policies
Insurance policies marketed as replacement cost often exclude code upgrade expenses needed to meet new building standards. The ordinance or law clause commonly reduces payouts, even in guaranteed replacement plans, creating a funding gap that families must cover. Saga Bay resident Charles Poole illustrates the impact after Hurricane Andrew, where flood rules required a costly elevation beyond the policy’s base replacement. As disasters rise, insurers push for tougher codes to curb losses, driving up total repair costs for homeowners.
