ISO (Insurance Services Organization) is an independent statistical, rating, and advisory organization that serves the property & casualty insurance industry. ISO collects information on a community’s public fire protection and analyzes the data using a Fire Suppression Rating Schedule. ISO then assigns a public protection classification from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents the best public protection and Class 10 the worst or no protection. Home Owners and Fire Insurance premiums are based on the ISO Classification. See our ISO Information page for more details.
