Subsequent to the
Missouri Legislature’s passage of Senate Bill 691 during the 2014 legislative
session, coverage for damage resulting from sinkholes is now available through
the Missouri Property Insurance Placement Facility, commonly known as the
Missouri FAIR Plan. The coverage is available as a supplement to an
existing policy insuring the property. The coverage is only available for
habitational structures and shall not cover driveways or nonhabitational
detached structures. Contents coverage shall apply only if there is
covered sinkhole loss on the habitational structure in which the contents were
located. The coverage shall not include loss for the value of the land or
for the costs associated with filling a sinkhole. The deductible for such
coverage equals ten percent (10%) of the combined limit of liability of
dwelling coverage and contents coverage.
