If this is a standard homeowner's policy, insurance companies typically cover between 50% and 75% of the Coverage A Dwelling. In other words, if your home is insured for $100,000 (Coverage A) and the insurance company provides an additional 70% for your personal property (Coverage C), then your contents are covered for up to $70,000.

Renters and Condo owners must specify exactly how much coverage they want on their policy.

*Note: Most policies use the following descriptions for their coverages-

* Coverage A: Dwelling

* Coverage B: Other Structures

* Coverage C: Personal Property

* Coverage D: Loss of Use/Additional Living Expenses

* Coverage E: Personal Liability

* Coverage F: Medical Payments to Others

Do any laws for insurance required tax return for home insurance contents in Florida?

I believe you are asking if taxes must be paid on items replaced by a home owner's insurance policy. I do not think so unless the value was more than the original. Typically, insurance companies only write home owner's policies based on current replacement value. And only up to a certain amount. If the contents of your home are equal, by today's value, the insurance company will only cover up to the limit set by the policy. IT is best to insure contents by adding at least another 25% of it's replacement value to allow for inflation. I suppose if you are willing to pay the premiums, you could insure the contents of your home for as must as you like. But getting back to your question, I do not believe that you need to pay taxes (income)on replacements. Of course, you would need to pay applicable local, state and federal sales taxes.

This is a term used with respect to property insurance, such as homeowners policies. It refers to the maximum amount that the insurer will pay for the repair or rebuilding of the structure. The corollary is "contents limits" which refers to the maximum that the insurer will pay for the contents of the house or other structure.
