Question / Issue |
What is BCEGS and where would I look this number up? |
Answer / Solution |
BCEGS (Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule): The BCEGS assesses the effectiveness of enforcement and adequacy of building codes in a particular community, with special emphasis on mitigation of losses from natural hazards. A BCEGS grade of 1 (best) to 10 is assigned to each participating municipality. Municipalities with building codes that are well enforced should demonstrate better loss experience and a better grade.. Premium credits, if applicable, may be derived from these designated BCEGS grades.
A grade of “98” will be assigned to communities that have elected not to participate in the BCEGS program and will receive a premium surcharge. A grade of “99” will be assigned to properties in communities that have not been graded. |
