For Boundary County Families
Bonners Ferry insurance from down the road — not from a city you have never been to.
Farm, home, auto, and life coverage for Bonners Ferry and the Kootenai River valley, from a family agency about 35 minutes south on US-95. Valley farms, rural homes, and the wildlife-heavy miles between — we know this stretch of the state.

From the North Idaho families we already take care of
“The Marks Agency has been a great partner for our business. From our early days as a food truck to growing into our own restaurant in Sandpoint, they’ve helped us make sure we had the right insurance coverage in place. We really appreciate working with a local agency that understands small businesses and is easy to reach when we have questions or need help. Their team has been there for us with great service, support with claims, and guidance as our business has grown. It means a lot to work with people who are part of the same community we serve, and we’d gladly recommend The Marks Agency to other local business owners.”

“Great hometown service. I’ve been with the Marks Agency for over 10 years. They handle all my insurance needs. Home, auto, contractor, and life insurance.”

“If you value doing business with good, friendly, and honorable people, the Marks Agency is the place to take your insurance needs. In my experience, they look beyond the customer and treat you as a person. They respond promptly to my calls. It is so refreshing to have a person from my own community to discuss my insurance needs rather than some call center several states away. I highly recommend them.”

Who This Is For
Coverage for the Kootenai River valley
Boundary County runs on hay ground, timber, and long miles of US-95 and Highway 2 where the deer outnumber the streetlights. Your coverage should be written by someone who has actually driven them — farm, home, and auto under one local agent.
Why Marks Agency
A real person on the line when it matters most
// 01
Farm & ranch heritage
Our family ran a dairy farm before we ever wrote a policy. Equipment, livestock, outbuildings, and liability across a working place — we speak the language.
// 02
Idaho-handled claims
Farm Bureau Insurance is Idaho-owned, with local in-house adjusters. A hailed-out roof or a barn fire gets decided in Idaho — not by a carrier two time zones away.
// 03
Down the road, not far away
Our office is about 35 minutes south in Ponderay. Phone and email handle most things; the drive handles the rest. Either way, you deal with John, Josh, or Caiya.
