MAC Insurance, Inc.

MAC Insurance, Inc. is an American insurance agency based in Oregon. The company provides insurance products for individuals and businesses and specializes in insurance for tiny houses and other alternative forms of housing. It was founded by Michael Carmona and incorporated in Oregon on December 22, 2017.^[1]

History

Michael Carmona developed a specialization in tiny-house insurance before the establishment of MAC Insurance, Inc. In 2016, the tiny-house publication Tiny House Giant Journey reported on a tiny-house owner obtaining insurance through the Michael Carmona Agency.^[2]

The company subsequently developed a specialization in tiny-house insurance. In 2018, Tiny House Blog published an interview with Carmona about insuring tiny houses and school buses, describing MAC Insurance as an agency offering insurance for such structures and discussing replacement-cost coverage and other aspects of its policies.^[3]

MAC Insurance specializes in insurance for tiny houses, including both mobile and stationary structures, and provides coverage guidance for tiny homes, yurts, and cabins in more than 40 U.S. states.^[4]

The company's tiny-house insurance offerings have also been discussed by publications and organizations within the tiny-house community. TinyHouse.com has featured Carmona in articles and conference programming concerning tiny-house insurance. A 2021 article, updated in 2025, described Carmona as a pioneer in the field and discussed insurance issues associated with tiny homes, including differences between tiny-house insurance, recreational vehicle insurance, and mobile-home insurance.^[6]

Carmona has appeared as a speaker at several TinyHouse.com events. He was listed as the owner of MAC Insurance and as a speaker discussing how to shop for tiny-house insurance.^[7] In 2021, he participated in the Global Tiny House Conference, where he presented a session on insuring tiny homes. ^[8]

In 2024, TinyHouse.com again featured Carmona as a speaker at its Tiny House DIY Fest, identifying him as the owner of MAC Insurance and as an insurance specialist focused on tiny houses.^[9]

Other insurance services

In addition to tiny-house insurance, MAC Insurance provides insurance products in several other categories. Its listed services include auto, homeowners, renters, life, health, recreational vehicle, and business insurance, as well as workers' compensation and other commercial insurance products.^[10]
