Can a Mixed-Use Building Get BOP Insurance in Alabama?
Mixed-use buildings can qualify for BOP insurance — but only if the commercial space meets minimum thresholds. We explain the rules carriers use to classify mixed-use properties.
Can my mixed-use building get a BOP?
Yes, if commercial space is 51% or more of the total square footage. Buildings with majority commercial tenants (retail, office, service) qualify for commercial BOP or lessors risk policies. Buildings with majority residential tenants need habitational coverage. The exact threshold varies by carrier — some require 60% or 75% commercial.
