Is the land under a dwelling covered as part of coverage A (dwelling) under the dwelling forms?

The coverage for a dwelling under dwelling forms, such as those found in homeowners or property insurance policies, generally does not extend to the land on which the dwelling is situated. Coverage A specifically pertains to the physical structure of the dwelling itself, meaning it covers the building and any attached structures, but it excludes coverage for the land.

Understanding this is crucial when assessing the overall coverage of a property policy. Policies typically provide protection for structures that have a direct relation to the dwelling, such as porches or garages, but do not provide coverage for land values since the purpose of property insurance is to protect against loss or damage of the insurable structures, not the underlying land. This distinction helps ensure that owners are aware of what their policy will and will not cover in the event of a claim.
