Dear Associates:
Please be advised that the following exception should be used on all commitments and policies whether residential or commercial in nature:
Taxes and assessments that become a lien against the property after date of closing. The Company assumes no liability for tax increases occasioned by retroactive revaluation, changes in the land usage or loss of any principal residence exemption status for the insured premises.
In commercial transactions or in those instances where the property is determined to be non-homestead, the exception may be modified to remove the wording "...or loss of any principal residence exemption status...". Otherwise, the rest of the exception should remain the same.
If you have questions related to this bulletin, please contact your local underwriting personnel or Stewart Legal Services.
This bulletin relates solely to the State of Michigan.
