Montana Plumbing Insurance Requirements: What Every Contractor Must Know
Compliance isn’t optional. Montana’s licensing requirements are among the most specific in the nation.
The Montana Board of Plumbers doesn’t mess around. They mandate $300,000 minimum general liability coverage per occurrence and $100,000 professional liability insurance for all licensed contractors.
These aren’t suggestions. They’re legal requirements that can shut down your business if ignored.
But here’s what most contractors miss. Montana also requires license bonds ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on your project scope and municipality.
- Journeyman plumbers working under supervision need different coverage
- Master plumbers running independent operations require comprehensive protection
- Construction Contractor Registration (CCR) operators need workers compensation insurance
- Independent Contractor Exemption Certificate (ICEC) holders can waive workers comp but still need liability protection
- We’ve seen this confusion before. The Allen Thomas Group has helped hundreds of contractors navigate these exact requirements across our 20+ state service area.
We understand that Montana’s 23% projected growth in plumbing jobs means more contractors are struggling with compliance every day. That’s nearly four times the national average.
Our Smart & Easy approach eliminates confusion. No more guessing. We ensure you meet every requirement without overpaying for unnecessary coverage.

Protecting Your Montana Plumbing Business From Weather-Related Claims
Weather strikes. Montana’s weather doesn’t just threaten your comfort – it threatens your business survival.
With 955 wildfires burning across the state in 2024 and 137,800 properties at wildfire risk, Montana leads the nation in fire-related business interruptions. But fire isn’t your only enemy.
Hail hammers hard. Damage claims in Montana average $11,695 per incident, while fire and lightning claims can devastate contractors with average payouts of $77,340.
Eastern Montana counties like Yellowstone, Rosebud, and Powder River see some of the state’s highest insurance rates. Why? Severe hail frequency.
When your plumbing truck gets pummeled by softball-sized hail or your tools are destroyed in a client’s fire-damaged basement, standard coverage often falls short.
Montana plumbing contractors need specialized protection beyond basic requirements:
- Commercial auto insurance covering vehicles and equipment during severe weather seasons
- Tools and equipment coverage protecting your livelihood when weather strikes job sites
- Business interruption insurance maintaining cash flow when storms halt projects for weeks
- Professional liability coverage protecting against water damage claims during extreme weather
- Workers compensation covering employee injuries during emergency weather-related repairs
We get it. The Allen Thomas Group understands Montana’s weather patterns because we’ve been protecting contractors through every type of loss.
Our comprehensive approach ensures weather events become minor inconveniences. Not business disasters.
