Commercial Property Statement of Values in Florida
A clean statement of values helps underwriters understand each building, location, limit, roof, tenant, income exposure, flood question, and lender requirement before the renewal turns into a guessing exercise.
The SOV is the carrier's map of the account.
It should separate locations, buildings, contents, tenant improvements, business income, loss of rents, wind, flood, roof, lender, lease, and loss-history details instead of forcing the underwriter to reverse-engineer the risk.
Upload the current policy, SOV, roof records, flood documents, lender requirements, lease clauses, and loss runs with the quote request.
A useful property schedule separates the values that actually drive the quote.
Broad totals are easy to type and painful to underwrite. Florida commercial property files usually need location-level detail so building limits, contents, tenant improvements, wind, flood, business income, and lender requirements can be reviewed cleanly.
Every insured location
List each building, unit, warehouse, office, retail plaza, or scheduled location separately. Multi-location schedules get messy when limits are blended into one total.
Building limit and valuation support
Show the building limit for each location, how the value was estimated, and whether replacement cost, actual cash value, agreed value, or coinsurance wording needs review.
Business personal property and improvements
Separate equipment, inventory, stock, furniture, computers, tenant improvements, betterments, signs, outdoor property, and scheduled equipment instead of hiding them inside one number.
Roof, wind, flood, and deductible facts
Florida carriers often ask for roof age, roof material, construction, updates, wind deductible context, flood zone, flood policy details, and lender flood requirements.
Business income or loss of rents
The SOV should flag whether the account needs business income, extra expense, ordinary payroll, loss of rents, or tenant-downtime review by location.
Lenders, leases, and contract pressure
Attach mortgagee clauses, evidence deadlines, lease insurance clauses, certificate wording, additional insured requests, and deductible restrictions before binding pressure starts.
A weak SOV can make a good property look harder than it is.
These are the kinds of missing details that slow renewals, weaken market appetite, and create last-minute lender or certificate problems.

What to send with a commercial property SOV
The first quote does not need to be perfect, but it should give our office enough detail to avoid sending a half-built file to carriers.
