This rate will apply to policies effective on or after January 1, 2019 and to any endorsements to those policies.

There are special rules for multi-year policies, renewal endorsements and policy extensions and other stamping fee rates applicable to older policies. To review this information, see the stamping fee section of our online procedures manual.
As with the taxes, in Illinois the stamping fee is always rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
For assistance in calculating the stamping fee, see our online procedures manual, or our online calculator.
We are giving Illinois surplus line producers this notice approximately 30 days in advance so there is time to do any necessary programming or other adjustments to your system, and to quote new business at the proper rate.
