# Business Insurance in Arizona

## Insurance Regulator

**Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions.** Arizona DIFI regulates insurance companies and insurance professionals, including producers and surplus-lines brokers. Its license search covers both individual or business licensees and insurance companies, and its complaint page explains how to file with the Department.[^1][^2][^3]

- [Regulator website](https://difi.az.gov/)

- [File a complaint](https://difi.az.gov/file-a-complaint)
- Phone: (800) 544-2378

## Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office

**Reported tax rate:** 3% of gross premium and taxable policy fees, less returns; stamping fee rate not verified When Arizona is the insured’s home state, the tax is 3% of gross premium and taxable policy fees, less returned premium; the statute excludes stamping fees from that tax base. For a multistate risk, Arizona’s share is allocated by exposure under the statute. Arizona's surplus-lines policy notice says these policies do not receive guaranty-fund protection. Current stamping-fee amount was not independently confirmed from readable current evidence and is omitted.[^4][^6][^8][^9]

## State Notes

**Arizona has an exempt-commercial-purchaser search exception:** A surplus-lines broker generally must make diligent effort to place an Arizona risk in the admitted market. For an exempt commercial purchaser, federal law removes that search only after the broker discloses the admitted-market protection difference and the purchaser then asks in writing for nonadmitted coverage.[^5][^7]
