Leavitt (Cedar City native, former Utah State Senator). Original Cedar City agency founded 1952; Leavitt Group affiliate model formed 1959. Local managing co-owners under the Leavitt Group's 60/40 ownership model. Address 115 N Main St, Cedar City.
The Dixie Leavitt Agency is the original Cedar City office of what has since become the Leavitt Group, one of the larger independent insurance brokerages in the United States. Dixie L. Leavitt founded the agency in Cedar City in 1952 and went on to become a Utah State Senator; the building blocks for the modern Leavitt Group's affiliate model were laid in 1959.
The Cedar City office at 115 North Main is the historic flagship and remains operational under Leavitt Group's distinctive co-ownership model, in which local managing partners hold significant equity (approximately 60/40 split with the Leavitt parent in the standard model) in their offices. That structure means the Cedar City agency is locally owned in a meaningful operational sense, even though the parent organization is large and multi-state.
The Cedar City founder's public profile, including the Wikipedia entry on Dixie L. Leavitt, makes this one of the most independently verifiable insurance candidates in the file. The mainstream framing for the register: locally founded, locally owned (via the affiliate model), and now part of a much larger national broker network — all of which should be disclosed honestly.
