Ordinance or Law

Ordinance or law coverage pays the added cost of rebuilding to current building codes after a covered loss, which a basic policy may not fully cover.

How it shows up

It matters most for older homes, where code upgrades during a rebuild can add significant cost beyond the original structure.
