HEADS UP
Insurance premiums could drop in Marysville Fire District
A Protection Class 3 rating by the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau for Snohomish County Fire District could lower insurance premiums for thousands of homeowners.
The rating change also means the entire Marysville Fire District, which includes District 12, will be rated at Class 3 starting in May.
WSRB ratings range from Class 1 to 10, with 1 being the best rating. A lower rating may allow insurance companies to offer lower rates based on the fire district’s ability to extinguish fires faster and more effectively.
Within the Marysville Fire District, the City of Marysville is already rated at Class 3 while Fire District 12 was previously rated at Class 4. The new Class 3 rating for District 12 applies to properties within 5 miles of a fire station that have adequate fire hydrants and water supply.
WSRB recommends residents and business owners contact their insurance company to determine the impact of the change on their insurance premiums. Impacts may vary by insurer.
