§ 67A.13 — Types of Insurance Authorized

Plain-Language Summary

This section lists all the types of damage that township mutual fire insurance companies can cover. These include fire, lightning, explosion, flood, earthquake, theft, vandalism, vehicle damage, smoke, glass breakage, ice and snow damage, water leaks, and electrical problems. For livestock, coverage also includes electrocution, animal attacks, drowning, accidental shooting, and transportation accidents.

Practical Notes
Township mutual companies cover a wide range of property perils, but they do not cover public liability (injuries to other people). If you need liability coverage, you will need a separate policy from another insurer. Review this list carefully to understand what your township mutual policy can and cannot cover.
