The following information is only a general summary of the coverages offered by the FAIR Plan. The legal rights of the insured are determined by their insurance policy and by Kansas Laws and Regulations, not by this summary.

 

DWELLING COVERAGES AND LIMITS

 

The maximum limit of property coverage written through the FAIR Plan in one fire division under one ownership is its:

Insurable market value,

Actual cash value or

$400,000, whichever is less.

 

Limits apply jointly to real and personal property.

 

For dwelling risks, the limits are per location and mean real and personal property in a single building. The total of real and personal property cannot exceed the above limits.

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE

 

FAIR Plan defines Actual Cash Value (ACV) as Replacement Cost less Depreciation. An agent must submit ACV calculations with the application or the FAIR Plan guidelines will be used to determine ACV.

 

FAIR Plan Actual Cash Value Guidelines:

(Used if agents figures are not submitted.)

      Multiply the total ground floor square footage of the dwelling by:
      $70 for 1 story
      $75 for 1 ½ story
      $80 for 2 story

An additional $5 per square foot is allowed for masonry/brick construction. 

Depreciation is applied as shown in the FAIR Plan Depreciation Guide.

 

The following chart can be used to determine the appropriate amount of depreciation to be deducted from the replacement cost figures:

The definitions we use to determine the condition of the property are as follows:


Excellent – The building is in perfect condition

Very Good – The building has slight evidence of deterioration

Good – The building has minor deterioration

Average – The building has apparent deterioration

Fair – The building has marked deterioration

Poor – The building has substantial deterioration

 

MARKET VALUE/ PURCHASE PRICE

 

The current market value is the price the property would sell for in the open market minus the land value.

 

FAIR Plan considers a recent purchase price to be the current market value unless we receive evidence of increased value; such as, contracts, a list of improvements or real estate appraisal.

 

MOBILE HOME VALUES

 

Mobile home values are established using the N.A.D.A. Manufactured Housing Appraisal Guide or market value, whichever is lower.
