Bulletin: NY000695

Dear Associates:

We would like to inform you that on October 16, 2023 the URL for the StewartStar Calculator will be redirected to the URL for Stewart Rate Calculator (SRC) (https://www.stewartratecalculator.com). This means the StewartStar calculator will no longer be accessible or available for use on or after October 16, 2023 and SRC will be used instead. For a brief summary of SRC, please see our guide at Stewart Rate Calculator.  We will continue to redirect the existing StewartStar URL for a period of approximately 60 days to allow the agents time to incorporate these changes into their site.

If your company currently has a link to StewartStar on their website, you may update the link by 1 of the 2 options below:

1.     If you want to have your logo displayed on the PDF, you will need to add an absolute path to your image file after “logo=” using the URL below. The path to the logo needs to be publicly accessible. https://www.stewartratecalculator.com/?branded=false&logo=

2.     If you do not want to have a logo displayed on the PDF, you can use the following URL: https://www.stewartratecalculator.com/?branded=false

We appreciate your cooperation during this transition. If you have any questions relating to this or any other bulletins, if you should find any discrepancies in either the premium, transfer tax or mortgage recording tax calculations, or if you need assistance, please contact your agency services representative or a Stewart Title Insurance Company Underwriter.

Note: When you use SRC, you will see a disclaimer stating: These rates are for residential policies only.  In some states, premium is dependent upon whether the premises being insured are residential or commercial.  New York is not one of those states, and you may disregard this portion of the disclaimer if insuring property in New York State.
