Overview
Surplus Lines Filings is where you will manage the state surplus lines tax filings your agency is responsible for. Today the page is a live placeholder reached from the left sidebar, so you can see where the feature will live and, if you're not yet a Turris customer, request access before it launches.
What is Surplus Lines Filings?
Surplus Lines Filings will be your home inside Turris for tracking the state-level surplus lines tax filings every surplus lines broker has to submit, so you stop chasing deadlines and tax worksheets across spreadsheets and email threads.
Who uses it. Surplus lines brokers, licensing managers, and accounting staff at agencies that place non-admitted business and owe filings to state surplus lines stamping offices and departments of insurance.
When the workspace ships, it will let you:
Confirm at a glance whether every state filing you owe this period is submitted, pending, or overdue
Catch upcoming deadlines before they slip, so you avoid late penalties from state stamping offices
Keep the policy data, premium amounts, and supporting documents that feed each filing in one place instead of in spreadsheets
See the history of what was filed in each state, when, and by whom, when an auditor or carrier asks
Hand off filings Turris prepares on your behalf without re-keying data
Today the page is a placeholder. The navigation entry is live so the destination is discoverable, and organizations that are not yet subscribed can request early access from it.
Accessing Surplus Lines Filings
Open Left sidebar → Surplus Lines Filings. The page loads directly; there are no sub-tabs, filters, or detail rows today.
What the page renders depends on whether your organization is an active Turris customer:
Subscriber state | What is displayed |
Active Turris customer | A green, dashed-border card with a hammer icon, the heading Surplus Lines Filings, and the message "The Surplus Lines Filings feature is currently under development and will be available soon." No action is needed; Turris will notify you when the workspace is live. |
Not yet a Turris customer | A Not a Turris Customer notification panel explaining that Surplus Lines Filings is a premium Turris feature, with a Request Access button and a Contact Support link to |
There is nothing to drill into yet: no rows, no detail pages. Bookmark the URL so you can come back to it when the workspace switches on.
Requesting Access
When you'd do this. Your organization is not yet a Turris customer, you've landed on the placeholder, and you want the Turris team to onboard you so you can start using Surplus Lines Filings (and the rest of the Turris platform) when it launches.
Open Left sidebar → Surplus Lines Filings.
The Not a Turris Customer panel appears, headed by a white crown icon on a deep indigo gradient. It reads: "Only Turris customers are granted access to Surplus Lines Filings and many more premium features."
Choose one of the two actions in the panel:
Click Request Access to send a one-click access request to the Turris team. The button shows a loading state while the request is in flight.
Click Contact Support to open a new email to
support@turrisfi.com. Use this when you want to add context, such as the states you file in, your monthly filing volume, or the carriers you place business with, so Turris can come prepared to the follow-up call.
After Request Access succeeds, a green Success alert appears at the top of the page reading "Access requested successfully."
The Turris team receives the request internally (it arrives as an email to Turris, tagged with your organization name and NPN) and follows up by email from
support@turrisfi.com.
Tip: Both paths reach the same Turris team. Use Request Access for the fastest signal that you're interested, then reply to the follow-up email with your filing volume, states, and stamping-office accounts so the kickoff call goes straight into onboarding details.
Note: If the request fails, a red Error alert reads "Failed to request access." Click Request Access again, or fall back to the Contact Support email link in the same panel.
Visual Elements on the Page
The page shows one of two states in the main content area below the breadcrumb bar, depending on your subscription.
Color | Label | Meaning | What to do about it |
Green (hammer icon) | Surplus Lines Filings (under-development card) | You are a Turris customer; the feature is on the roadmap but not yet built. | No action needed. Watch Turris release notes and revisit the page periodically. |
Indigo / purple (white crown icon) | Not a Turris Customer | Your organization is not subscribed; this page is gated behind a Turris subscription. | Click Request Access, or email |
Frequently Asked Questions
When will Surplus Lines Filings be available? A specific launch date has not been announced yet. The page is live as a placeholder so the destination is visible inside Turris; it will switch from the under-development card to the full filings workspace once the feature ships. Turris will notify customers ahead of launch.
Why do I see a placeholder instead of a filings workspace? The Surplus Lines Filings feature is still being built. The placeholder confirms the feature is on the roadmap and shows where it will live. No filings data is collected or stored from this page today.
Why do I see a "Not a Turris Customer" notification? Surplus Lines Filings is part of the Turris premium platform. If your organization is not currently subscribed to Turris, this page displays the upgrade prompt instead of the under-development card. Click Request Access or email support@turrisfi.com to start a conversation.
What happens after I click Request Access? A green Success alert appears at the top of the page confirming the request was submitted. Turris receives the request internally and follows up by email from support@turrisfi.com to discuss next steps.
Will my historical surplus lines filings be imported when the feature launches? Historical data migration is part of the broader onboarding conversation. If you have existing filings records you want to bring into Turris, mention it in the follow-up email so it can be scoped into your onboarding plan.
Can I request access more than once? Yes. Each click sends a fresh request to Turris. If you don't hear back within a few business days, click Request Access again or reply to the original outreach email so the team can re-prioritize.
Best Practices
Bookmark the Surplus Lines Filings page so you can find it again the day it launches. Revisiting the URL on a regular cadence is the easiest way to spot when the placeholder switches to the live filings tool.
Use Request Access if you are evaluating Turris. A single click puts your organization on the Turris team's radar and starts a tailored conversation about your surplus lines workflow.
Email support@turrisfi.com when you have context to share. State coverage, monthly filing volume, carriers you place business with, and current filing tooling all help the Turris team prepare a focused onboarding plan.
Watch the Turris release notes. Surplus lines milestones, such as the first state supported, the first stamping-office integration, and full launch, are announced in the product release notes before the page flips from placeholder to workspace.
