Insurance Built By Local Government, For Local Government

As stewards of the public trust, New York’s local governments need the protection of adequate and appropriate property and liability insurance. In the face of an insurance crisis confronting New York’s municipal governments, NYMIR was founded in 1993 by New York’s three statewide municipal associations — NYAOT, NYSAC and NYCOM — with 26 local government subscribing members. 

Over the years, its reputation as a premier full-service insurer spread across the state and today the name NYMIR is synonymous with the most comprehensive coverages and risk management programs available. More than 1,000 of New York’s 1,600 general purpose local governments are now NYMIR members, making it the largest municipal property and casualty underwriter in the entire State. NYMIR remains, more than ever, an insurance company for local governments. It is run by local government officials and the municipal associations, and responsive to the unique and ever-changing needs of today’s municipalities.
