Section Name Field Name Field and/or Section Description
TITLE ACORD 140 (2007/09) Property Section This guide provides the user with basic instructions for completing the ACORD Property Section Application. The Property Section has been designed to handle the basic underwriting and rating needs for commercial property exposures. The Property Section accommodates two locations, with coverage and rating information recorded separately for each location. This form was designed to be used in conjunction with the Commercial Insurance Application – Applicant Information Section (ACORD 125).
IDENTIFICATION SECTION
Much of the information for the Identification Section should match the data found within the Applicant Information Section of ACORD 125. Nevertheless, it is still important to complete it. Many companies separate the applications by line of business for rating purposes. Not completing this portion of the application makes it difficult to keep track of the full account.
IDENTIFICATION SECTION Agency Customer ID Customer’s identification number assigned by the agency.

IDENTIFICATION SECTION Applicant (First Named Insured) First Named Insured as it appears on the ACORD 125.

IDENTIFICATION SECTION Expiration Date Date Enter the Expiration date on which the terms and conditions of the policy will terminate unless renewed.
IDENTIFICATION SECTION Billing Plan check boxes Indicate whether the agency or the company (direct) will bill the insured or other payor for the policy.
