Florida December Edition of The Wire
Posted December 30, 2025, the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office (FSLSO) posted June’s edition of The Wire. Highlights include:
- **Q4 Filing Reminder:** Fourth-quarter invoices process January 1. All filings and contact info must be complete by December 31. Unresolved URP or URF TIQs will prevent related credits from being processed.
- **SLIP+ Update:** Agent contact information (primary, accounting, compliance) will now sync from the agency account and can only be edited at the agency level. Agents should review and update agency contacts in SLIP+.
- **Surplus Lines Fees Guidance:**
- Filing surplus lines agents may charge one reasonable per-policy fee, which must be listed on the policy and is taxable.
- Retail agents may charge a separate per-policy fee, disclosed to the customer but not taxable or shown on the policy.
- No additional or excess fees are permitted; improper fees must be refunded and may trigger compliance action.
- **Insurer Update:** Rockingham Casualty Company is no longer an eligible surplus lines insurer in Florida as of November 5, 2025 (status changed to Withdrawn).
