The Florida Surplus Lines Service Office's (FSLSO) duties, with respect to the Surplus Lines Law, include:
- collecting data on surplus lines business written in the state of Florida from Surplus Lines Agents and IPC filers,
- comparing this data to the information filed by the Surplus Lines Insurers, and
- billing and collecting taxes and fees due on this business and remitting the taxes to the Florida Department of Financial Services.
Florida Statute 626.938 governs this action. The law requires an insured, who
procures insurance coverage directly from unauthorized insurers (rather than through a
Florida licensed and appointed surplus lines agent), to report the policy data and premium
to the FSLSO using a computer format designated by the FSLSO. The insured is required to
pay a service fee
and a premium receipts tax. Please see Florida Statute
626.938 for more information.
FSLSO's method for collecting this data will be as follows:
- IPC filers will log on using the link below
- then enter the required identification information and submit via a submit button
- IPC filers will receive an email containing an access link to the FSLSO IPC submission form
- after clicking on the link provided, the IPC filer will input and submit the policy data to FSLSO
- FSLSO will provide an opportunity for the filer to verify data and print the two required invoices using Adobe Acrobat
- the IPC filer will mail each invoice along with an appropriate check. Taxes will be mailed to the Florida Department of Financial Services and the service fee being mailed to the FSLSO.
