Method and source

Source: the Montana insurance regulator company list, read 2026-10-18 and the surplus lines list. Admitted: no static list of admitted/licensed companies is published on csimt.gov (company lookup is one-at-a-time; 2025 annual report has no company appendix) - admitted left empty. Surplus lines: 'Eligible Surplus Lines Companies' XLSX (sheet '10-14-2026') with COMPANY_NAME | NAIC_COCODE | DOMICILE_STATE; no eligibility date given; every row is US-domiciled (no Lloyd's or other alien insurers on this list - alien insurers are not covered by it); alien = domicile not a US state/territory code (raw kept in domicile_raw). csimt.gov Crawl-delay 10 honored. "Premium" is direct premium written in the state for the year shown; "share" is that company's part of the state total for the line. A company can be licensed for a line and write none of it, and a surplus lines insurer can write a line without a state license for it.

Need inland marine in Montana?

Someone will insure it. I find who.

Send what you need covered and what happened before. I match it to the companies that take it, down to the last-resort plan if it comes to that. I'm licensed in 48 states and Washington, DC and your request stays with my agency, not passed to another agent. In Florida and Washington, where my licenses are still being issued, a partner agency in your state helps in the meantime.
