Is ArborMAX shutting down?
No closure has been announced. TCIA and ArborMAX are concluding their endorsement partnership effective June 26, 2026. The announcement does not say the ArborMAX program is closing. Existing policies are not cancelled by the announcement; they run to their own expiration dates. Changes, if any, would appear at renewal.
The question is understandable: when an industry association and an insurance program part ways after seventeen years, "is it shutting down" is what people search. The factual record is narrower than the worry. The source is the TCI Magazine announcement, and here is what it does and does not say.
Does my ArborMAX policy cancel on June 26, 2026?
No. June 26, 2026 is the date the TCIA–ArborMAX endorsement partnership concludes. It is not a cancellation date for any policy. An insurance policy ends on the expiration date stated in the policy itself, and yours continues on its current terms until then.
What actually changes because of the announcement?
The endorsement — TCIA’s formal association with the ArborMAX program — ends. TCIA has said it is moving away from endorsing specific insurance programs and will continue its safety and loss-prevention services. Practical details, such as how loss-control services are delivered in the future, have not been announced yet.
What should I do if I’m insured with ArborMAX?
Nothing urgent is required. Your policy continues to its expiration date. At your next renewal, ask how loss-control services will be delivered, whether eligibility terms are changing, and review your sublimits and equipment schedules. Comparing terms against an alternative quote at renewal is standard practice in any year.
