Insuring Ohio for Over 50 Years

Payne & Brown Insurance Agency launched in 1965 in Jerry Payne’s Sunbury, OH home and was formerly called Beacon Insurance. After his retirement in 1992, Steve Brown took over the agency coming from an underwriting position of five years at a regional insurance carrier.

Today, Payne & Brown Insurance Agency has evolved into writing over 80 different personal and business insurance coverages through seven independent office locations throughout Ohio, including Sunbury, OH, Danville, OH, Marengo, OH, Johnstown, OH, Delaware, OH, Upper Sandusky, OH, and Newark, OH.

We currently represent several highly-rated regional insurance companies, some of the finest in the industry. The companies we represent have quality customer service and a reputation for fast and fair claims assistance. We will find the best company for your specific needs and give you the highest level of protection.
