Appointment Fees

Paid by the insurer, in advance, to the Department: a life, health, property, or casualty agent's (or customer representative's) original appointment and biennial renewal fee is $60.00 — $42 appointment fee + $12 state tax + $6 county tax. A nonresident agent's fee is also $60.00; a surplus lines agent's is $150.00; late filing of an appointment renewal adds $20.00. If an appointment is denied, only the taxes are refundable on written request — never the appointment fee itself, never after the appointment issues, and never once the appointment year has commenced before the refund request arrives.

Sixty bucks every two years per appointment — 42 for the state's trouble, 12 state tax, 6 county tax.
