Maintaining State Surcharges and Rates

Overview of Marinating State Surcharges and Rates

  • The States screen allows the bond administrator to define and maintain the different types of state surcharges that will used in Tinubu Surety Solution for Carriers (TSC), as well as designate whether a state will have municipal taxes applied.  State surcharges will be calculated into the total premium as follows:

    • For Commercial bonds, the surcharge will be added based upon the state of the obligee configured for the bond type.

    • For Contract bonds, the surcharge will be added based upon the project location/risk state selected at the time of bond issuance.
