Fire Insurance Rates to Drop in Baytown
Baytown residents will save an estimated 340,000 to 50,000 next year on fire insurance premiums after the State Board of Insurance lowered the citys fire credit rating. The rating increase to 20 percent keeps the key rate at 26 cents and 15 percent good fire credit. The change, effective April 1, reflects the department s ability to limit losses over five years and is based on water mains and supply. Fire losses nationwide are cited as a factor in premium trends.
