The amount of the fee is set by TTIGA's Board of Directors and currently is $5.00 per policy. The fees are due on the first day of the month following each calendar quarter. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date will be the first business day following that date. It must be received by us by the close of business on that date. Postmark does not count. The due dates are:
