What the class covers
Florida law requires every residential condominium association to determine the replacement cost of its property at least once every three years. You can read the requirement in section 718.111 of the Florida Statutes. An independent insurance appraisal is the accepted way to establish that number. In most associations, the manager tracks that schedule and answers the board’s questions about it.
This class gives you a clear working knowledge of the insurance appraisal. Specifically, it covers:
- What an insurance appraisal is, and how it differs from a market appraisal, a reserve study, a structural integrity reserve study, and a milestone inspection.
- How a coinsurance clause reduces a claim payment when a building is undervalued.
- How to look at a valuation and tell whether it was done well.
- How to keep track of appraisal dates across the communities you manage.
In addition, you leave with a compliance calendar you can use with your own portfolio.

Why insurance appraisals matter to managers
An outdated replacement cost can be expensive at claim time. For example, a building may be insured for less than the policy requires. In that case, the insurance company may pay only part of a covered loss. As a result, the association may have to make up the difference. Because managers often handle the renewal paperwork, they are in a good position to catch the problem early. That is why this topic is worth an hour of your CAM continuing education.
