HUD Mortgagee Letter 2026-07 — Rescission of the Important Notice to Homebuyers Form HUD-92900-B Requirement — Background (whole section)
Form HUD-92900-B, Important Notice to Homebuyers, is a disclosure that Mortgagees were required to provide to borrowers at application for an FHA-insured Mortgage. Components of the form no longer align with current policies and operations. In addition, the form duplicated disclosures already provided to borrowers under federally mandated requirements, including those required by the Truth in Lending Act, creating unnecessary redundancy without providing additional value. On January 20, 2025, the President issued Executive Orders aimed at reversing policies that have adversely affected key sectors, including the housing market. Consistent with these directives, FHA has undertaken efforts to eliminate requirements that impose operational burdens on Mortgagees and do not serve a practical or programmatic purpose. On November 19, 2025, HUD issued a waiver of the requirement for Mortgagees to provide Form HUD-92900-B, and this Mortgagee Letter permanently removes the requirement. Mortgagees are no longer required to provide the form to borrowers or obtain and retain an executed copy. This action supports HUD’s ongoing efforts to reduce administrative burdens while ensuring that borrowers continue to receive disclosures that are accurate, current, and consistent with applicable laws.
