CONSTRUCTION LOANS/SPECIAL RISK PREMIUM

Construction loans constitute a special risk subject to approval and acceptance of the underwriter (First American Title Insurance Company).

 

MODIFICATION ENDORSEMENTS

Modifications of existing loans which require an endorsement to the existing mortgagee policy without increasing the loan amount can be issued for a premium of 30% of the original premium paid.  Modifications of existing loans which require an endorsement to the existing policy and increase the loan amount can be issued for a premium of 30% of the original premium paid with an additional premium for the increased amount.  This additional premium is calculated at the appropriate tier in which the increase falls.

 

NOTE:  * When one or more mortgagee policies are issued simultaneously with an owner’s policy, the rate for the mortgagee policy issued is $150.00 each.  When additional coverage is needed for the mortgagee policy, the premium shall be computed at the original mortgagee title insurance rate under the applicable bracket.  Policies simultaneously issued must cover identical land.
