This memo addresses the suspension of the Guaranty Assessment Recoupment Charge or GARC. This is a special fee that Texas title companies have been collecting for each title policy for Texas properties. Note that if loan documents are signed during 2018, but the loan does not fund until 2019, the fee is still required to be collected, as DOCUMENT SIGNING is the trigger for determining the date of the closing.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this information.
