Title: Amendments to TILA Concerning Appraisals | |
Abstract: The CFPB is participating in interagency rulemaking processes with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) (collectively, the Agencies) to develop proposed regulations to implement the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) concerning appraisals. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act to TILA require creditors to obtain an appraisal, including a physical property visit by a certified appraiser, before extending higher-risk mortgage loans. The TILA amendments also contain new provisions concerning appraisal independence, the portability of appraisal reports, and charging of customary and reasonable fees. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board published an interim final rule implementing the mandatory requirements relating to appraisal independence on October 28, 2010. Further action with respect to this rulemaking is being addressed through the interagency rulemaking process. Through the interagency process, the Agencies on January 18, 2013, issued a final rule (published in the Federal Register on February 13, 2013) relating to appraisal requirements for higher-risk mortgages. The Agencies amended Regulation Z, which implements TILA, to provide that, for mortgages with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage, unless an exemption applies (such as for qualified mortgages and certain other types of transactions specified in the final rule), creditors must obtain an appraisal or appraisals meeting certain specified standards, provide applicants with a notification regarding the use of the appraisals, and give applicants a copy of the written appraisals used. The Agencies issued a supplemental proposal on July 9, 2013, concerning possible additional exemptions from this rule for certain refinance transactions, smaller-dollar loans, and certain manufactured housing transactions. | |
