1.15 Insurance Services Organization (summary)

ISO is an independent advisory organization that collects information on a community's building-code adoption and enforcement services in order to provide a ranking for insurance companies. ISO assigns a Building Code Effectiveness Classification from 1 to 10 based on the data collected. Class 1 represents exemplary commitment to building-code enforcement.

Municipalities with better rankings are lower risk, and their residents' insurance rates can reflect that. The prospect of minimizing catastrophe-related damage and ultimately lowering insurance costs gives communities an incentive to enforce their building codes rigorously.

This page provides data for the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) performance measure. 

This data includes residential and commercial building code enforcement ratings for the City of Tempe.
