Insurance Rates Cut By Iowa Rating Bureau
The Iowa rating bureau filed fire and tornado insurance rate reductions under the new law. Old schedules are replaced with lower rates across classes, aiming for near parity with competitive rates. Frame dwellings in protected towns drop from 40-80-120 to 24-60-96 and from 45-90-1385 to 30-75-120 in unprotected towns, with a 40 percent flat cut on annual fire rates. Tornado and other lines see similar percentage reductions. some classes, like fireproof buildings, are rerated rather than receiving set reductions. Special hazards receive 15 percent off building rates and 10 percent on contents. unrated nonwater works receive a desk tariff with substantial building and contents cuts. Farm rates remain the same for now.
