Method and source
Source: the Ohio Department of Insurance company list, read 2026-10-17. Ohio's authorized list carries a company type code; the department publishes no surplus lines list (eligibility follows the home state and the NAIC Quarterly Listing). Lines are the regulator's licensed lines grouped into common names; a license to write a line doesn't mean a company sells it to every kind of customer. "Admitted" means licensed by the state and backed by its guaranty fund; "surplus lines" means eligible to take risks the admitted market declines, without rate or form approval and without guaranty fund protection.

Need insurance in Ohio?
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.
