§ 634.303, Fla. Stat. · Part II. HOME WARRANTY ASSOCIATIONS
License required.
Text — 2026 Florida Statutes
(1) No person in this state shall provide or offer to provide home warranties unless authorized therefor under a subsisting license issued by the office. The home warranty association shall pay to the office a license tax of $200 for such license for each license year, or part thereof, the license is in force.
(2) An insurer, while authorized to transact property or casualty insurance in this state, may also transact a home warranty business without additional qualifications or authority, but shall be otherwise subject to the applicable provisions of this part.
(3) Any person that is an affiliate of a domestic insurer as defined in chapter 624 is exempt from application of this part if the person does not issue, or market or cause to be marketed, home warranties to residents of this state and does not administer home warranties that were originally issued to residents of this state. The domestic insurer or its wholly owned Florida licensed insurer must be the direct obligor of all home warranties issued by such affiliate or must issue a contractual liability insurance policy to such affiliate that meets the conditions described in s. 634.3077(3). If the Office of Insurance Regulation determines, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, that a person’s intentional business practices do not comply with any of the exemption requirements of this subsection, the person shall be subject to this part.
(4) Any person who provides, offers to provide, or holds oneself out as providing or offering to provide home warranties in this state or from this state without holding a subsisting license commits, in addition to any other violation, a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
