LEADING THE WAY FOR INSURERS

Q3 2025 Premium Filing Compliance Update and Required Actions

We are pleased to report continued improvement in foreign insurer compliance with Florida's surplus lines filing requirements. Compliance has increased from 94% to 97% in the last week, reflecting ongoing progress in meeting statutory mandated filing requirements. We appreciate the continued partnership of insurers and their efforts to ensure filings are submitted in accordance with Florida law.

For insurers currently providing corrective information, please ensure all supplemental data necessary to resolve your Q3 2025 premium deficiency is submitted no later than March 2, 2026 so we can reach 100%.

Failure to resolve all outstanding premium deficiencies by this deadline may result in referral to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation for non-compliance with Florida Statutes. Continued non-compliance may also result in withdrawal of your company's eligibility as a surplus lines insurer in the State of Florida.

As planned, on February 23, 2026, FSLSO will issue a notice to agents advising that any insurer with unresolved deficiencies may be at risk of removal from the Eligible Surplus Lines Insurer List in SLIP+. Removal from this list will be visible to surplus lines agents and independently procured coverage filers until deficiencies are fully resolved.

We appreciate your continued partnership and commitment to maintaining a compliant and healthy surplus lines marketplace.
