Please be advised that the 2013 Title Administrative Surcharge must be paid
online via your title agency's MyProfile
account. The system began allowing online payments on January 7, 2013. There will not be an
invoice or invoice number. Please do not send a paper check to the
Department.
To log in to your MyProfile
account, go to www.MyFloridaCFO.com/Division/Agents and click MyProfile on the left. If you have not created an account yet
for your title agency, you will need to do that first by clicking Create
Account on the MyProfile log in page. You will need to select Title Agency as the account type then enter your FEIN twice and
license number then verify your address information.
After logging in to your account, click on Title Surcharge Payment on the right under Apply and follow the steps to make payment of the surcharge. Be sure to print each page for your records. After you logout of your MyProfile account, the option to pay the surcharge will go away and not be there the next time you log in.
Failure to pay the surcharge on or before January 30, 2013 may result in administrative action and/or a fine of $500 over the original surcharge amount. To assure that your payment is properly credited, please log in to your MyProfile account prior to January 30, 2013 and make payment.
Please be reminded that Section 626.551, Florida Statutes, requires licensees (agents and agencies) to notify the Department of Financial Services within 30 days of a change of residence, business, email, mailing address or telephone number. Changes may be made online via your MyProfile accounts for individual and title agency.
If a title agency (or title insurance company) has done any business or is planning on doing any business in 2013, the surcharge is required to be paid. Failure to timely pay the annual surcharge will lead to disciplinary action including a fine and up to revocation of licensure.
