The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) has delayed the implementation of the title insurance policy surcharge to August 6, 2013. As The Fund previously alerted you, OIR has ordered a surcharge of twenty-eight cents ($0.28) to be collected on each title insurance policy issued in Florida. This now applies to policies with effective dates of August 6, 2013, and thereafter until further notice by OIR.
For details on this, please refer to the front-page article on page 106 of the December 2012 issue of The Fund Concept.
