The Iowa FAIR Plan Association uses an independent inspection firm to inspect all properties, and such inspections are done at the expense of the Plan. All properties written by the Iowa FAIR Plan are subject to inspection for eligibility and pricing.
Inspectors usually will not go inside the property unless there is evidence of a wood burning device or such a device was reported on an application. In such cases, appointments will be made with consumers so inspectors can inspect the wood burning device, check clearances, take photos, etc.
Failure of a consumer to comply with such an inspection request or failure to keep an appointment with an inspector will result in the cancellation of the policy.
