Dear Associates:
On March 23, 2012, Governor Bill Haslam signed into law Senate Bill 3352 and House Bill 3278. These two bills reduce the population requirements for counties to be considered all inclusive in nature for title insurance premiums. The changes, which are currently in effect, affect Stewart’s filed rates in that now Rutherford and Williamson Counties will be all inclusive counties. They will be added to Schedule A (Davidson County) and omitted from Schedule E, (all other counties, except Davidson, Knox, Shelby and Hamilton), in our rate manual. All other rates remain the same.
The rate calculator will be amended as soon as possible. Any agents using AFW should contact PropertyInfo Customer Care to get the new rate(s) changes implemented in their AFW system.
The new rate(s) should be used immediately. There will be a slight transition term to integrate the new changes. All issuing agents should review their GFE carefully to determine what the rate is when the estimate was given.
If you have any questions relating to this or other bulletins, please contact a Stewart Title Guaranty Company underwriter.
