Membership Inquiry

URMMA welcomes the membership of those Utah municipalities dedicated to improving their communities through the prevention and control of loss who are willing to commit time, effort, and funds to protect citizens, employees, and public resources. We welcome municipalities who share our values, rather than those who are just looking for cheap insurance.

Those municipalities who would like more information about URMMA may contact Dean Steel, URMMA’s CEO at (801) 225-6692.
