Insurance term
Ordinance or Law Coverage
Coverage that helps pay the extra cost of rebuilding to current building codes after a covered loss. Standard policies may only pay to rebuild as-is, not to meet updated codes.
Example
If codes now require hurricane straps, ordinance or law coverage helps pay for that upgrade during a rebuild.
