Vacant Land

Expertise. Solution. Service.


Vacant Land Insurance Program from MAXIMUM

MAXIMUM offers a focused Vacant Land insurance program tailored for a broad range of undeveloped property exposures. As a wholesale broker, MAXIMUM helps retail agents and brokers place hard-to-insure vacant land risks with confidence. Whether your client holds rural acreage for future development or an urban lot that requires basic upkeep, this program provides flexible liability limits, short-term policy options, and responsive underwriting.

Ideal Accounts and Target Appetite

This program is a strong fit for:

• Vacant city lots and rural parcels
• Land with natural features such as lakes or ponds (up to 25 acres)
• Properties with a small, locked and secured maintenance structure (shed or garage up to 500 sq. ft.)
• Land intended for development after the policy term

Example scenarios you can place with MAXIMUM: a client who recently acquired a 300-acre parcel to hold for future residential development, or an owner of a small urban lot awaiting rezoning who needs liability protection while the property sits idle.

Coverage Highlights and Advantages

• General liability limits up to $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate
• Excess liability available up to $5,000,000
• No liability deductible or self-insured retention
• Policy terms available in 3, 6, 9, or 12 months to match holding periods
• Eligible risks up to 1,000 acres per location
• Access to value-added business solution vendors, including:
  • • Human resources support
  • • Pre-employment and tenant screenings
  • • Identity theft protection
  • • Marketing resources

Underwriting Considerations

All submissions are reviewed by underwriting. Risks with a single loss or claim per coverage line in the past three years may still be considered, subject to underwriting review and terms.

Ineligible risks include:

• Active construction during the policy term
• Properties used for business operations or organized recreational activities
• Land containing landfills, bridges, quarries, underground or strip mines, caves, wells, or dams
• Properties located in AK, LA, or WV
• Structures larger than a small, locked and secured maintenance shed or garage (over 500 sq. ft.)

This Vacant Land program is available in most U.S. states, including but not limited to CA, TX, FL, NY, and IL. It is not available in Alaska, Louisiana, or West Virginia. The program is written on a non-admitted basis in most available states.
