| (a) The methods addressed in this section relating
to contingent surcharges will apply to all:
(1) policies written and reported under the following
annual statement lines of business: fire; allied lines; farm and ranch
owners; homeowners; commercial multiple peril (nonliability portion);
private passenger auto no fault (personal injury protection (PIP)),
other private passenger auto liability, and private passenger auto
physical damage; and commercial auto no fault (PIP), other commercial
auto liability, and commercial auto physical damage; and
(2) personal and commercial risks assigned by TAIPA
under Insurance Code Chapter 2151.
(b) The methods addressed in this section relating
to association surcharges will apply to all association policies.
(c) The association surcharge will be determined by
applying the association surcharge percentage to the policy premium
determined in §5.4181 of this division (relating to Premiums
to be Surcharged), attributable to association-insured property located
in the catastrophe area.
(d) The contingent surcharge will be determined by
applying the contingent surcharge percentage to the policy premium
determined in §5.4181 of this division, attributable to insured
property located in the catastrophe area, including automobiles principally
garaged in the catastrophe area.
(e) In cases where the policy is composite rated and
the premium attributable to insured property located in the catastrophe
area cannot be reasonably determined, the insurer must determine the
contingent surcharge based on the insured address. If the insured
address is within a designated catastrophe area, then the insurer
must determine the contingent surcharge by applying the contingent
surcharge percentage to the full policy premium determined in §5.4181
of this division. If the insured address is not within a designated
catastrophe area, then no premium surcharge applies to the policy.
