County Mutuals to Continue Writing Full Property Coverage
A Iowa district court ruled Judge Wade P. Clarke upheld county mutuals ability to write full property coverage without a windstorm or hail deductible. The Independent Insurance Agents of Iowa had cited a 1964 regulation requiring a $50 deductible for non county mutuals. The judge found the commissioner had no authority to impose the deductible and First Maxfield Mutual and 81 others will continue offering full coverage on town and rural properties.
