What if you did not have the 200 grand (or even half of that amount) available, so you could have the hole filled??? Then what??? I feel certain that the developer would not be happy w/a sink hole left unfixed for all to see. It presents real problems and unanswered questions for me and I am sure for others as well.

Does anyone on the list have some factual information in such a case? We have some very well informed members & I am hoping they have answers to this worse case scenario.

I bought my homeowners insurance in March. I got the sinkhole coverage for $86.00 per year for a $250,000 home. I believe it has a 2% deductible.
