Pricing
Pricing for Preliminary Judicial Reports is determined by the rate found in the OTIRB Rate Manual:
- The charge for a PJR is based on the amount of the unpaid principal balance. Ohio Rate Manual RP-2.
- Updates to any PJR, including for any FJR, are $50 for each update. This is a filed rate and must be charged for each updated. See Ohio Rate Manual RP-2.1.
- The charge for Extended Coverage Endorsement is based on the amount of coverage provided by its associated PJR. Ohio Rate Manual RP-2.2
- Ohio Title Insurance rates are non-inclusive, so it is possible to charge for search and examination above and beyond the premium charge for the PJR.
