Carrier appetite summary
CCIC’s currently published official guidance is more marketing-oriented than a formal public appetite guide, but the site does confirm an active personal-lines focus on homes and related property business in Central and Northern New York. Preferred personal risks appear to be owner-occupied homeowners, seasonal/secondary homes, landlord dwellings, dwelling fire, mobile homes, and personal inland marine placements written through independent agents/brokers. CCIC states it can tailor coverage to individual needs, can handle higher-valued homes, and offers home credits including natural gas/propane/electrical, new home, non-smoker, central station/fire alarm, and sprinkler system credits. Geographic note: the carrier explicitly describes its footprint as Central and Northern New York, so submissions outside that territory should be treated as outside the clearly stated public focus. For inland marine, CCIC states personal inland marine can be written stand-alone or as an enhancement to a homeowners policy; an agent bulletin also states short-term rental equipment cannot be written as a stand-alone policy and must be endorsed to an existing policy, subject to underwriting guide. Submission/processing notes for agents: business is distributed through independent agents, represented by 125+ agents; the site offers an agent portal; policyholders can make deposit premium/advance payments for new applications online; a January 3, 2025 bulletin says CCIC accepts either a current-edition room-count or square-foot residential replacement cost estimator and asks agencies to use a current edition. Operational broker notes from recent bulletins: effective December 1, 2025 new and renewal Craft Pak policies moved into FINYS, and effective January 26, 2026 all agents were given access to quote and process Craft Pak policies in the system; claims status, payment history, billing, and balances are viewable in FINYS once issued, and policy documents continue to be emailed to agents while hard copies are mailed to insureds. No verified official public page was found with explicit personal-lines declined classes, boat/watercraft appetite details, coastal restrictions, protection-class limits, age-of-home limits, or a formal producer appetite matrix; therefore any such restrictions should be confirmed directly with CCIC underwriting before submission.
