Amifor is a mutual forest fire insurance company created by foresters for foresters. It covers private and public forest owners against fire in their forests.
The contribution depends on whether the insured is a private or public owner.
For private law forest owners (individuals, companies) the fee is fixed, regardless of the species, age or structure of the stand: €3.26 / ha, with a minimum of €20 per file.
For communes and other public owners (Provinces, CPAS, Church fabriques, ...) the contribution is also fixed, but reduced to 3.03 €/ha, as public owners are not subject to insurance tax.
