What percentage of Coverage A is provided for other structures in one or two family dwellings?

In homeowners insurance policies, specifically concerning Coverage A, which covers the dwelling itself, there is a provision for coverage of other structures on the property. This protection typically includes structures that are not attached to the main dwelling, such as detached garages, sheds, fences, and similar features.

The correct percentage for coverage of other structures is 10% of the Coverage A limit. This means that if a policyholder has a dwelling insured for $200,000 under Coverage A, then the coverage for other structures would automatically provide an additional $20,000. This built-in provision ensures that homeowners have some level of protection for these additional structures without needing to purchase extra coverage.

Understanding this allocation is critical for policyholders to know how their insurance will address the potential loss of these separate structures, thereby ensuring they are adequately protected in the event of a loss or damage.
