Our detached garage burned down in the Palisades Fire disaster. It’s location was grandfathered at the corner of the property on the property line. After the debris removal it is not clear exactly where the garage was located. Does my homeowners insurance policy cover the cost of a property perimeter line survey?
Hi Nelson-great question!
If you are building back the detached garage and a survey needs to be completed in order to secure building permits, it is likely that your policy will provide coverage for this. Certainly this depends on your specific policy language. We would strongly recommend that you speak with your carrier and builder regarding this additional potential expense. You may not know if a survey is needed until you submit rebuild plans.
