[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/coverage/crime/alaska) # Alaska Crime Insurance Guide Alaska’s specific fidelity rules depend on who handles the funds: a broker controlling community-association money must carry blanket fidelity insurance sized to the maximum funds controlled, and an HMO must carry an employee and officer fidelity bond with at least a one-year discovery period. Check which rule applies before comparing those safeguards with your business crime policy.[^1][^2] **Coverage:** [Crime](/coverage/crime) · [Alaska](/coverage/states/alaska) ## What Is Crime? Crime insurance can help reimburse specified business losses from theft and fraud, including employee theft and forgery. Compare those protections separately and ask whether a payment sent after an impersonation scam is covered. [Read the national Crime guide](/coverage/crime). ## Alaska Requirements | Requirement | Details | | --- | --- | | Community-association funds | When an owners’ association board lets a broker control association fees or other funds, the broker must provide evidence of blanket fidelity insurance covering the maximum funds under the manager’s control. The association and broker may be named in either order as insured and additional insured; the commission may grant an exemption for comparable coverage or unavailability.[^1] | | Health maintenance organizations | An Alaska HMO must maintain employee and officer fidelity coverage of at least $100,000 or another amount set by the director, with at least a one-year discovery period. A bond with less than a three-year discovery period generally needs 90 days’ written cancellation or termination notice filed with the director, unless the director approves an earlier date.[^2] | ## What to Watch for in Alaska ### Size association coverage to funds controlled If your community-association broker controls fees or other association money, Alaska requires blanket fidelity insurance sized to the maximum funds the manager can control at one time. Ask how the limit was measured, whether the association is named as an additional insured, and whether any requested exception relies on a commission exemption for comparable coverage or unavailability.[^1] ### A recovery-fund claim can affect bond recovery timing If the same association loss may be reimbursed by Alaska’s real estate recovery fund, the statute delays recovery under the required fidelity bond until the association obtains a final judgment, arbitration award, or settlement and files a recovery-fund claim. Ask how the association’s separate crime policy responds and who must report the loss first.[^1] ### HMO discovery and cancellation terms are statutory An Alaska HMO’s employee and officer fidelity bond needs at least a one-year discovery period. If the discovery period is under three years, the statute generally requires 90 days’ written notice filed with the director before cancellation or termination takes effect, unless an earlier date is approved. Compare these terms with the policy’s loss-discovery and reporting provisions when changing insurers.[^2] ## Who Regulates Insurance in Alaska **Alaska Division of Insurance.** The Alaska Division of Insurance regulates insurers and insurance licensees, provides company and licensee searches, and investigates insurance complaints within its authority. Its consumer-services section handles disputes involving claims, cancellations, premium refunds, agents, and insurers.[^3][^4][^5] - [Regulator website](https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/ins/) - [License lookup](https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/ins/Consumers/ConsumerTools/ResearchaCompany.aspx) - [File a complaint](https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/ins/Consumers/Complaints) - Phone: (907) 269-7900 ### Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office **Reported tax rate:** 2.7% of gross premium less returns plus 1% filing fee; wet marine: 0.75%, no fee For covered property and casualty surplus-lines risks, Alaska lists a 2.7% tax and a separate 1% filing fee on gross premium less returned premium. Qualifying wet-marine and transportation policies instead carry a 0.75% tax on gross premium and no filing fee; risks of state or local government and certain interstate aircraft are exempt from both tax and fee. A multistate placement is regulated under the insured’s home-state rules, and Alaska says to evaluate each policy’s home state separately.[^7][^6][^8][^9] **Alaska has a placement-list exception:** If a risk appears on Alaska’s surplus-lines placement list, the Division says the broker does not have to canvass admitted insurers for declinations before placement; the broker must document the applicable list entry.[^6] **Alaska has limited tax and search exceptions:** The Division says qualifying wet-marine and transportation policies need no diligent search and pay no 1% filing fee. Tax and filing fees also do not apply to state or political-subdivision risks or qualifying interstate aircraft, although other placement requirements remain.[^10] ## Providers With Documented State Licenses These providers publish a national listing for Crime; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm that the product is available in Alaska; [check the regulator’s license lookup](https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/ins/Consumers/ConsumerTools/ResearchaCompany.aspx) and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote. - [Coalition](/insurance-providers/coalition) — **Entity:** Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc.; **role:** Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Coalition’s license page lists producer and surplus-lines licenses for Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The page separately lists insurers; this record covers the brokerage entity only.[^12] - [Corgi](/insurance-providers/corgi) — **Entity:** Corgi Insurance Services, Inc.; **role:** Insurance producer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability.[^13] - [Vouch](/insurance-providers/vouch) — **Entity:** Vouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLC; **role:** Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability.[^17] ## Questions to Ask Before You Buy in Alaska 1. If a broker handles association dues or reserves, what is the maximum amount under that manager’s control at one time, and how was the fidelity limit set? 2. For an HMO, what discovery period applies and what cancellation notice is filed with the Alaska director? 3. If an association loss may be eligible for the real estate recovery fund, which policy should be notified and in what order? ## Crime in Alaska: FAQ ### Do these Alaska fidelity rules apply to every business? No. The cited statutes address brokers controlling community-association funds and health maintenance organizations. They do not set one fidelity limit or discovery term for all businesses; use your own quote and policy wording to review those details.[^1][^2] ### How much fidelity insurance does an Alaska community association need? When the statutory trigger applies, the broker’s blanket fidelity insurance must cover the maximum funds that will be under the community-association manager’s control at any time. The commission can grant an exemption if it determines equivalent coverage exists or coverage is unavailable.[^1] ## Crime in Other States - [Alabama](/coverage/crime/alabama) - [Arizona](/coverage/crime/arizona) - [Arkansas](/coverage/crime/arkansas) - [California](/coverage/crime/california) - [Colorado](/coverage/crime/colorado) - [Connecticut](/coverage/crime/connecticut) - [Delaware](/coverage/crime/delaware) - [District of Columbia](/coverage/crime/district-of-columbia) - [Florida](/coverage/crime/florida) - [Georgia](/coverage/crime/georgia) - [Hawaii](/coverage/crime/hawaii) - [Idaho](/coverage/crime/idaho) - [Illinois](/coverage/crime/illinois) - [Indiana](/coverage/crime/indiana) - [Iowa](/coverage/crime/iowa) - [Kansas](/coverage/crime/kansas) - [Kentucky](/coverage/crime/kentucky) - [Louisiana](/coverage/crime/louisiana) - [Maine](/coverage/crime/maine) - [Maryland](/coverage/crime/maryland) - [Massachusetts](/coverage/crime/massachusetts) - [Michigan](/coverage/crime/michigan) - [Minnesota](/coverage/crime/minnesota) - [Mississippi](/coverage/crime/mississippi) - [Missouri](/coverage/crime/missouri) - [Montana](/coverage/crime/montana) - [Nebraska](/coverage/crime/nebraska) - [Nevada](/coverage/crime/nevada) - [New Hampshire](/coverage/crime/new-hampshire) - [New Jersey](/coverage/crime/new-jersey) - [New Mexico](/coverage/crime/new-mexico) - [New York](/coverage/crime/new-york) - [North Carolina](/coverage/crime/north-carolina) - [North Dakota](/coverage/crime/north-dakota) - [Ohio](/coverage/crime/ohio) - [Oklahoma](/coverage/crime/oklahoma) - [Oregon](/coverage/crime/oregon) - [Pennsylvania](/coverage/crime/pennsylvania) - [Rhode Island](/coverage/crime/rhode-island) - [South Carolina](/coverage/crime/south-carolina) - [South Dakota](/coverage/crime/south-dakota) - [Tennessee](/coverage/crime/tennessee) - [Texas](/coverage/crime/texas) - [Utah](/coverage/crime/utah) - [Vermont](/coverage/crime/vermont) - [Virginia](/coverage/crime/virginia) - [Washington](/coverage/crime/washington) - [West Virginia](/coverage/crime/west-virginia) - [Wisconsin](/coverage/crime/wisconsin) - [Wyoming](/coverage/crime/wyoming) [Other Coverage in Alaska](/coverage/states/alaska) ## Sources [^1]: [Alaska Statutes § 08.88.173: Fidelity Bond for Community Association Managers](https://www.akleg.gov/basis/statutes.asp?media=print&secStart=08.88.173&secEnd=08.88.173) — Alaska State Legislature; Subsections (a)–(b): blanket fidelity insurance, maximum association funds controlled, insured/additional-insured options, exemption grounds, and recovery-fund claim sequence.
