Q1 2026 Insurer Reporting Deadline is Approaching
We are excited to report foreign insurers were 100% compliant with Florida’s surplus lines filing requirements in 4Q 2025. Thank you to every reporting insurer. We appreciate your continued partnership and commitment to maintaining a compliant and healthy surplus lines marketplace.
Deadline to Update Catastrophe Information is May 31, 2026It is critical to update your information before hurricane season begins on June 1. This information serves as a valuable resource to FSLSO staff and state regulators when assisting policyholders following a natural disaster. Even if you filed previously and your contact information has not changed, you must acknowledge that your current information is correct. We ask insurers to update their information on an annual basis.
To update your catastrophe contact information, log into SLIP+ for Florida and click Catastrophe Data under the Compliance tab.
What Data Should be Reported to SLIP+?Insurers should submit only surplus lines policies to SLIP+ for Florida. Policies must be reported only when Florida is the policy’s designated home state. Any non‑U.S. premium associated with a policy should not be included in the reported premium amount. Reinsurance transactions and admitted (standard market) policies must not be reported to SLIP+. Submitting non‑surplus lines data may result in processing delays and require corrective action.
Vessel Registration ClarificationFor filing purposes, a vessel is considered a Florida risk if it is registered or flagged in Florida. Florida filing status is based on the vessel’s legal registration with the State of Florida, not on where it is physically located, moored, or operated. A vessel may remain a Florida risk even if it is temporarily or regularly located outside the state. Its location does not change its Florida registration status unless the owner registers it in another jurisdiction, if required.
Insurer Policy Data AccuracyInsurers must enter policy information exactly as shown on supporting documentation, including:
Accurate and complete submissions support efficient processing and help maintain compliance with Florida surplus lines reporting requirements. They also help reduce the number of Premium Reconciliation requests issued.
