What is replacement value?
This is defined as the cost to repair without regard to depreciation. All the homeowners policies that I have seen have a cap of 4 time the ACV or the policy limit, whichever is less. When you have a full replacement cost policy you also have the requirement to carry full replacement cost value on your policy at 100%. What this means is that if you don't have enough coverage to pay the full replacement cost, then you will be penalized on every claim whether large or small. For this reason, you only want to carry full replacement cost if you are sure that you have enough coverage to avoid the penalty.

If you own your home and have no mortgage against it should you be given a depreciation value on damages to your home after a hurricane even if you have cost replacement in your policy?
Generally, most insurance policies that afford "Replacement cost coverage" will only pay the depreciated value (or "actual cash value") up front until the repairs or replacement actually takes place. In the event you will not repair or replace the home where it stood, you would only be entitled to the actual cash value. Otherwise, they will pay the difference between the ACV and actual replacement cost (less your deductible) only after the repairs are complete. Most policies have a time limit on how long you have to make a claim for the replacement cost.....usually 6 months!
