Earthquake, Insurance and Property-Tax Risk
This guide combines three separate review tracks that should not be collapsed into one conclusion: the building’s technical condition, insurance coverage and the property-tax record. Each track requires its own evidence and responsible reviewer.
Technical risk
Review available technical reports, building condition, strengthening works and open findings. If the technical result is not conclusive, record the need for specialist assessment rather than issuing an unsupported conclusion.
Insurance and tax
Check policy validity, insured-property details, coverage scope and dates, and separately trace tax liabilities, payments and records supporting the current status. Rules and figures that can change should be reconfirmed with the competent source at the transaction date.
Closing risk
Convert every finding into a clear action: missing document, technical assessment, payment evidence, insurance review or tax verification. Do not create a cost or legal conclusion without a source.
Keep the risk layers separate
Use the AFAD hazard map as regional context, not a building-specific structural safety certificate. Commission a qualified building review for structural questions. Compare insurance schedule, exclusions, deductible and coverage with the actual asset, then verify municipal tax obligations independently. Record distinct sources and dates for hazard, structure, insurance and tax rather than combining them into one unsupported rating.
