Insurance and ISO Information

The Insurance Services Organization rating of a community has a direct effect on the insurance premiums that individuals pay on their homes and on commercial buildings. The ISO conducts an inspection of the fire department and its capabilities, the available water supply in the area (the closest fire hydrant and water flow from that hydrant) and the emergency communications facility. When the inspection is complete, a rating is assigned to the city. The ratings range from Class 1 being the best possible rating which lowers insurance premiums to Class 10 which is the worst possible rating and is assigned to areas which offer little to no protection. The City of Church Hill received a Class 5 rating for 2008.
