Montgomery County adds Insurance Safety Office Web Application to County Website

Montgomery County TennesseeMontgomery County, TN – Montgomery County Government in conjunction with the Montgomery County Fire Service has recently announced a lowered ISO (Insurance Safety Office) rating that affects county residents living within five (5) road miles of a Volunteer Fire Station.

To assist residents in determining if their property falls within that distance requirement, Montgomery County partnered with the Austin Peay GIS Office to create a web mapping application.

This application, available on the county’s website at www.mcgtn.org, will allow residents to insert their address and map the distance to the nearest volunteer fire station.

Residents can print the map for verification for their insurance company, allowing them to take advantage of lowered insurance rates due to the new protection class 6 rating. This mapping application was built specifically for residents see if they qualify for the new rating, but can also be expanded in the future with additional modules.

Jerry Buchanan, Emergency Management Agency Director, states, “We greatly appreciate the assistance of APSU’s GIS team in creating the application. It lets the residents see for themselves where the new rating coverage spans in their district. It will not only be a great help to the residents, but also an asset for the insurance companies that can also utilize it.”
