How does NFIP define a 'building'?

  1. A structure solely used for residential purposes

  2. Walled and roofed structure with majority of value above ground

  3. Any structure regardless of its use

  4. Temporary structures during construction only

The correct answer is: Walled and roofed structure with majority of value above ground

NFIP defines a 'building' as a walled and roofed structure with majority of value above ground. This excludes temporary structures during construction (option D) as well as structures solely used for residential purposes (option A) or regardless of their use (option C). Therefore, option B is the most accurate definition of a building according to NFIP.
