Weekly Roundup - 02/02/07 - Hurricane Tax To Emergency Fund

2. February 2007, 11:06 UhrPersonal FinanceDana Joseph

I wrote about quite a few different topics this week.Â Our auto insurance policy got hit with a hurricane tax.Â Here in Florida, looks like all kinds of “assessments” are going to be starting.Â We shared some spending plan and budget calculators, hopefully to encourage budgeting.Â Learned that we’ll need to be shopping for Quicken 2007 as we were informed that support for Quicken 2004 is being discontinued.Â I’ve added a daily money saving tips feature.Â We also wrote about the importance of funding your emergency fund.Â

Is the hurricane assessment state wide? Do you know it is imposed only by your insurance company or by all the providers?

Yes, this assessment is state wide and across all providers.

“In June 2006 the Florida State Board of Regulation (who oversees the HCF) directed the Office of Insurance Regulation to levy an emergency assessment on all property and casualty business in the State of Florida. This assessment is applied to all policies issued or renewed after January 1, 2007. “
