We’ve talked before that Flood Insurance must be in an amount equal to the lesser of:

  2. The overall or “insurable” value of the property minus the land value; or,

“Insurable value” can be hard to nail down sometimes and we often get asked if you can use the amount of hazard insurance on the property to determine the insurable value.
