The summary is that the State self- insures items which carry a UF property decal against fire and direct lightning strikes while that property is located at an official business location. Theft and other damage that occurs at an official business location is NOT covered by the state. In such instances the person to whom the property was lent has personal responsibility for any loss of or damage to the State property. Damage is defined as limited to that which is beyond normal wear and tear. If covered, there may be exclusions for equipment not owned by the homeowner or tenant.
Property taken to such events is covered by State self-insurance.

Record Keeping - Each unit is required to keep records for all UF property that has been moved away from a designated UF workplace. This record is in the form of a certification letter to the borrower. The record also must include the name and address of the borrower, and the location at which the State property is to be located. I understand that property located in personal residences or other non-State sites is not insured for loss or damage by the University of Florida.
