Insurance Services Office (ISO) Guide for

Sheridan Fire District

Dear Insurance Representative,

In an effort to serve our customers, the Sheridan Fire District has created this guide to help you. Typically, the Insurance Representative needs to answer two questions: 1) Which fire service protects my client’s property, and 2) What is the ISO Class Rating for my client’s property? This guide will make it possible for you to use Polk County or Yamhill County websites to obtain these answers.

FIND YOUR FIRE DISTRICT OR FIRE DEPARTMENT
