Welcome to the New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal (NYMIR) Website.
Here you will find an overview of the insurance coverages and risk management services offered to New York State municipalities, along with a background of the company and an introduction to the principals who are responsible for its continued success. The NYMIR Board of Governors is comprised of 13 elected and appointed officials from villages, towns and counties across the state. The sponsoring associations are the New York State Conference of Mayors, the Association of Towns of the State of New York and the New York State Association of Counties who together formed the Attorney-in-Fact which established and licensed the NYMIR program in 1993.
This collaboration has rescued local government property taxpayers by stabilizing the municipal insurance market, driving down rates and providing first class insurance coverage and invaluable risk management recommendations.
The concept works! I am very proud to say that more than 800 municipalities in New York State have now made the same decision to insure with NYMIR, making us the single largest municipal property and casualty program in our State.
Please view the website to learn more about NYMIR and how your municipality can benefit from membership. You can contact us directly from this website, or by calling 1-800-NYMIR05 to reach a NYMIR representative. We promise to offer your municipality comprehensive coverages and effective risk management programs at rates that will help your local government manage essential costs.
William Cherry
President
