Title Insurance
Rate Schedules

NJ rates are set by the Department of Banking & Insurance. NY rates are filed with the Department of Financial Services. Here's what you need to know.

All NJ title insurance premiums are regulated by the NJ Department of Banking & Insurance (DOBI). These are the current filed rates.

NJ Purchase Rates

$0 -- $100,000$5.25 / $1,000
$100,001 -- $500,000$4.25 / $1,000
$500,001 -- $2,000,000$2.75 / $1,000
Over $2,000,000$2.00 / $1,000

NJ Refinance Rates

Per $1,000 of policy liability (REF schedule)

$0 -- $100,000$2.75 / $1,000
$100,001 -- $500,000$2.50 / $1,000
$500,001 -- $2,000,000$2.25 / $1,000

NJ refinance rates are lower than purchase rates because the risk profile is different on an existing mortgage.
