Insurance Rates may Drop in February – PTC Fire gets ISO 3

Effective February 1, 2010, the Peachtree City Fire Department’s Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating will drop from a 4 to a 3. This may help to lower some property insurance. Please contact your Insurance Agent to see if the change in ISO Rating will help reduce your rates after February 1. [More Information . . . ]
