land value deduction in CA on purchase

Hi we lost everything in Palisades Fire, don’t have time to wait for rebuild, would like to purchase instead and take advantage of extended coverage (extra 25%.) I am confused by CA land value deduction code. If rebuild/buy insurance on dwelling was $1M, can we buy something for $1M b/c the land value can’t be deducted? Or must we buy something for $2M (round numbers to make a point, not actual) b/c we can’t include the value of the land in the purchase? Super hard to find anything comparable to Palisades elsewhere right now. Thanks.

Hi Katherine,

You definitely have options after the Palisades fire, including purchasing a home somewhere else. UP offers many resources on this particular subject including the land valuation piece, which you can review here:
