ISO Information



ISO is an organization that rates the capability of fire departments to deal with structure fires. Some insurance companies use the ISO rating to help set property insurance rates.

As of May 1, 2021 Montana City has improved from a Class 5 to a Class 4. A few notes about the ratings

  • The Class 4 rating only apply to properties in the Montana City Rural Fire District and within 5 road miles of a Montana City Fire Station.
  • Some large commercial facilities are rated individually
  • Many, but not all insurance companies use ISO ratings to help set premium rates.

This improvement in capability and public safety comes directly from the hard work of your local volunteer firefighters and the property tax funding support from the property owners of the Montana City Rural Fire District. Thank you!
