premiums on policies negotiated in this state shall be deemed written on property or
risks located or resident in this state, except those premiums as are properly
allocated or apportioned and reported as taxable premiums to any other state or
states. (3) Proration of premium taxes due from those insureds specified in KRS 304.11-020 under a contract procured from an unauthorized insurer having property in states
