Why am I getting this error on a Commercial Non-Residential Wind Only risk: "Building #1: Contents insured amount must be less than 80% of contents value"? |
Answer / Solution |

First Loss rating error message:
- This means that you have the correct value to amount of insurance on the building but not on the contents.
- The total value that Citizens will insure a risk to is $1,000,000 - combination of Buiding and Contents.
- If First Loss rating is used, both Building and Content must be rated with this. (You can't First Loss rate the building and then use Co-insurance on the Contents).
- The Building Amount of Insurance and the Contents Amount of Insurance must equal $1,000,000.
- The actual value for each of the building and the contents must be high enough in value to produce less than 80% comparing it to the building and contents amount of insurance entry fields. The program looks at each separately (building and contents values) and each must be less than 80% of amount of insurance to actual value:
- For example:
- Building actual value is $3,000,000 (enter this value in the Building Value field)
- Contents actual value is $400,000 (enter this in the Contents Value field)
- Both the building and contents Amount of Insurance entry fields must add up to $1,000,000 total. A possible entry example could be:
- $800,000 for the Building Amount of Insurance
- $200,000 for the Contents Amount of Insurance
