Statement of Values for Commercial Property Insurance in Florida

Build a schedule that shows each location, building, value, occupancy, roof, income exposure, flood question, and lender detail so insurers can compare the property accurately.

What is an insurance SOV?

A statement of values (SOV) is a location-by-location schedule of the property facts and values submitted for an insurance review. It can separate buildings, contents, equipment, improvements, inventory, business income, and loss of rents while giving the insurer the occupancy, roof, flood, lease, and lender details needed to understand the property.

The worksheet is not an appraisal, policy form, coverage guarantee, or promise that a carrier or lender will accept the values.

Start with one clean row for every building or scheduled location

Greene's CSV opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, and most property-management systems. Delete the sample row, keep the header row, and use a separate line for each building or scheduled structure.

Use it as a starting worksheet. A carrier, wholesaler, appraiser, or lender may require its own form, additional fields, or separate valuation support.

What the worksheet does

An SOV organizes the property details. It does not make the valuation decisions for you.

An SOV should

  • Separate the locations, buildings, values, and property categories being reviewed
  • Show where the numbers came from and which values still need support
  • Surface occupancy, roof, flood, income, lease, and lender questions early
  • Give every insurer the same dated version of the schedule

An SOV is not

  • An appraisal, replacement-cost report, building inspection, or flood determination
  • Proof that every limit is adequate or that every item is covered
  • Permission to treat market value, tax value, loan balance, and replacement cost as the same number
  • A guarantee of a quote, carrier acceptance, lender approval, or claim payment
Statement of values field guide

What belongs on a commercial property SOV

The exact workbook varies. These six groups cover the questions most Florida property schedules need to organize before the carrier, lender, or lease adds its own requirements.

Location and occupancy

Give every building or scheduled location its own row. Include the address, building number, occupancy or tenant type, square footage, stories, year built, vacancy, and apartment-unit count where applicable.

  • Location and building identifiers
  • Address, city, ZIP, and county
  • Occupancy, tenant type, and vacancy
  • Units, stories, and square footage
  • Year built and construction type

Building and valuation

Show the value assigned to each building and the valuation basis being reviewed. Do not substitute purchase price, tax value, loan balance, or market value for replacement cost without confirming the requested basis.

  • Building replacement-cost estimate
  • Requested valuation basis
  • Coinsurance or agreed-value question
  • Recent appraisal or valuation support
  • Additions, renovations, and code-upgrade concerns

Contents and improvements

Separate business personal property, inventory, equipment, tenant improvements, signs, outdoor property, and other scheduled items. A single blended contents number can hide which entity owns what.

  • Business personal property
  • Inventory or stock
  • Equipment and machinery
  • Tenant improvements and betterments
  • Signs, fences, awnings, and outdoor property

Income and rental exposure

Flag business income, extra expense, ordinary payroll, and loss-of-rents needs by location. The number should come from the business or property records and be reviewed against the policy method and restoration assumptions.

  • Business income or loss of rents
  • Extra expense
  • Ordinary payroll when relevant
  • Waiting-period question
  • Restoration-period assumptions

Roof, wind, flood, and protection

Add the roof year and material, sprinkler percentage, fire alarm, protection class if known, flood zone, flood-policy status, and elevation-certificate availability. These facts are not property values, but they help carriers evaluate the schedule.

  • Roof year, material, permit, and updates
  • Sprinklers, alarms, and protection details
  • Wind or hurricane deductible question
  • Flood zone and current flood policy
  • Elevation certificate or lender determination

Lender, lease, and evidence details

List the lender or mortgagee and attach the written insurance requirements. For tenant-occupied property, include lease clauses that shift responsibility for improvements, glass, equipment, or insurance evidence.

  • Lender or mortgagee
  • Written lender insurance requirements
  • Lease insurance clauses
  • Named-insured and ownership entities
  • Evidence or closing deadline

Have the schedule but not the support documents?

Upload what you have with the current policy, roof records, valuations, rent roll or income worksheet, flood documents, leases, loss runs, and lender requirements. We can identify any missing details before we compare insurers and pricing.

Value terms owners should not swap

Replacement cost, actual cash value, market value, and TIV answer different questions

Put the source and requested basis next to the number. A tidy spreadsheet with mislabeled values can still send the quote in the wrong direction.

Replacement cost

A cost-to-repair-or-rebuild concept based on the requested policy method. It is not automatically the property's sale price or tax value.

Actual cash value

A valuation approach that may account for depreciation. The policy language controls how a covered loss is valued.

Market value

What a buyer may pay for the real estate, including land and market conditions. It is not a reliable substitute for insurance replacement cost.

Total insured value

A schedule total that may combine selected building, contents, improvement, and income values. Confirm what the carrier includes before comparing totals.

The policy form, endorsements, valuation method, coinsurance or agreed-value treatment, deductibles, and loss-settlement language control the coverage result. The SOV helps organize the discussion; it does not replace it.

Apartment and multifamily SOV

Apartment schedules need more than one grand-total building value

A lender, carrier, or wholesaler may need to see how each building, unit count, occupancy, roof, rental-income exposure, flood question, and ownership entity fits the account.

One row per building

Separate each apartment building, clubhouse, office, maintenance structure, laundry building, pool house, sign, fence, and other scheduled property.

Units, occupancy, and vacancy

Show unit count, occupied and vacant units, short-term or student exposure when present, subsidized occupancy when relevant, and any commercial tenant.

Rent roll and loss of rents

Use the current rent roll and operating records to support the rental-income discussion. Do not assume the annual gross rent is automatically the policy limit.

Roof and building systems

Give roof age and material by building, plus available permits or records for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other major updates.

Flood and first-floor exposure

Flag current flood coverage, lender flood requirements, elevation information, and first-floor mechanical, electrical, laundry, office, or tenant-space exposure.

Ownership and lender wording

Match the property-owning entities, named insureds, lender or mortgagee, management company, and written loan requirements before evidence is due.

Why the spreadsheet comes back

Common SOV problems and the owner action that fixes each one

Problem
Last year's values were copied without review
Owner action

Mark them as prior values, gather current valuation support, and ask which basis the carrier or lender wants.

Problem
Several buildings are blended into one line
Owner action

Separate each building or scheduled structure so its address, occupancy, roof, construction, and value can be reviewed.

Problem
Market value was entered as replacement cost
Owner action

Identify the source of the number and do not relabel it. Ask whether a replacement-cost estimate or appraisal is needed.

Problem
Contents, equipment, and improvements are mixed together
Owner action

Split them by owner and category, especially when a landlord and tenant have different responsibilities.

Problem
Business income or loss of rents is blank
Owner action

Bring the rent roll or business records and discuss the policy method, waiting period, and restoration assumptions.

Problem
Roof, flood, lender, or lease details arrive after quoting starts
Owner action

Attach those documents with the first schedule so insurers receive complete property details earlier.

Renewal workflow

Five steps from an old property schedule to a current SOV

01

Start with one row per building

Use Greene's template, the carrier workbook, or your existing schedule. Keep a stable location and building ID so revisions stay easy to track.

02

Identify every number's source

Label prior-policy values, appraisals, replacement-cost estimates, rent-roll figures, equipment lists, and owner estimates instead of presenting every number as equally verified.

03

Attach the support documents

Send the current policy, valuations, roof records, rent roll, leases, flood documents, inspections, loss runs, photos, and lender requirements that explain the schedule.

04

Resolve the open questions

Review valuation basis, coinsurance, deductibles, income exposure, ownership, flood, vacancy, tenant mix, and deadline items before comparing quotes.

05

Freeze the quote version

Date the final schedule and keep it with the quote comparison. If values or locations change, send a clearly labeled revision instead of a mystery spreadsheet.

Send the SOV before the renewal deadline starts driving the decisions

Include the current policy and the documents behind the values. Our office can flag missing information and reduce follow-up questions.
