Please see the important announcement from the Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance.

The Commissioner has advised that they are adopting the SLIP+ for States platform for the reporting and payment of Surplus Lines taxes on all Surplus Lines policies and endorsements on policies effective January 1, 2026 and later.

Once we receive additional clarification from the state, we will update our tax calculator to accommodate these changes.
