Points of Contact for Lienholders To

Single Family Properties

ACTION: Notice of FHA points of contact
for payment.

This Notice proactively
provides lienholders of single family
properties acquired by FHA in payment
of mortgage insurance claims with FHA
points of contact to ensure payment of
tax liens and other types of liens on
these single family properties. FHA uses
contractors to manage these properties
and make property charge payments.
Inadvertently at times, these payments
remain unpaid. This Notice provides
direction for taxing authorities and
similarly situated entities such as
homeowners associations owed money
for finding the proper point of contact
at HUD for payment. As litigation to
enforce liens should be a last resort,
HUD is providing these specific points
of contact that lienholders can use to
obtain payment and avoid litigation.
Through a related notice published
elsewhere in today’s Federal Register,
HUD provides separate points of contact
for payment of taxes and other property
charges which have not risen to lien
status. Elsewhere in today’s Federal
Register, HUD is publishing an
interpretive rule regarding the
procedures to be followed in bringing an
action to foreclose HUD’s ownership
interest in properties with such liens
that are unpaid.
DATES: Effective date: October 15, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.
I. Background
This Notice provides lienholders on
single family properties acquired by
FHA in payment of mortgage insurance
claims with a Point of Contact in each
of the four Homeownership Centers
(HOCs). Each one of the four HOCs
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
contains in its organizational structure
the FHA operations staff who oversee
much of the day-to-day work regarding
FHA programs. Each HOC oversees on
average 13 states/jurisdictions for FHA
activities and has a Real Estate Owned
(REO) division that handles the day-today oversight of FHA’s acquired
properties so they are (1) protected from
vandalism and deterioration and (2)
aggressively marketed for as high a price
as possible. This Notice provides that
the HUD offices that manage these
properties are the proper recipients for
tax bills and billings of a similar nature.
In most cases, having a known point of
contact to send billings should obviate
the need to have to bring suit against
HUD to levy on a property.
II. Points of Contact and Procedure
HUD’s FHA single family REO
properties are managed and marketed
out of four HOCs that are located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta,
Georgia; Denver, Colorado; and Santa
Ana, California (with counsel for Santa
Ana being located in San Francisco).
Tax bills, condominium and
homeowner association fee billings, and
billings for special assessments on
properties owned by FHA that have
arisen to lien status are to be sent to the
attention of the director of the FHA REO
Divisions in the HOC which has
jurisdiction over the property that is
subject to the taxes and/or fees. These
bills should be sent in a timely manner
to the appropriate HOC so that the HOC
can remit payment promptly to avoid
need for litigation to enforce any liens
associated with such billings.
Philadelphia HOC—has jurisdiction
over properties located in Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire,

ACTION: Notice of FHA points of contact
for payment.
AGENCY:
This Notice proactively
provides taxing authorities and others
that are owed money on HUD-owned
single family properties acquired by
payment of FHA mortgage insurance
claims, points of contact to ensure
payment of taxes, homeowners
association fees and other property
charges that have not risen to lien status
under state law on these properties.
FHA uses contractors to manage these
properties and make property charge
payments. Inadvertently at times, these
payments may remain unpaid. This
Notice provides direction for taxing
authorities and associations owed
money (where there is no lien) for
finding the appropriate proper point of
contact for payment. Through a related
notice published elsewhere in today’s

separate points of contact for payment
of taxes and property charges which
have risen to lien status. As litigation to
enforce liens should be a last resort,
HUD is also providing specific points of

cases and avoid litigation. Elsewhere in

I. Background
HUD contracts with private
Management and Marketing (M&M)
contractors to handle the sale of its
inventory of single family acquired
properties. HUD published a delegation
of authority, authorizing its M&M
contractor to act on behalf of HUD in
matters regarding the management and
sale of residential property acquired by
HUD, including the direct payment of
association fees, taxes and other
property charges that have not risen to
lien status due to nonpayment of these
charges on its real estate owned (REO)
inventory.
II. Points of Contact and Procedure
In most cases, having a known point
of contact for payment of billings should
expedite the payment of taxes,
association fees and other property
charges that have not risen to lien status
under state law on HUD-owned single
family properties acquired by payment
of FHA mortgage insurance claims. HUD
requests that all invoices or inquiries
pertaining to such unpaid property
charges be remitted to the appropriate
geographical M&M contractor. In order
to assist taxing authorities and
homeowner associations, or other
municipal entities, identify the
appropriate M&M contractor to remit
invoices, HUD has provided the
following link that will identify by the
state or portion of a state in which a
specific property is located, the contact
information for the geographically
responsible M&M contractor as follows:
https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/
HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/
reo/mm/mminfo, and follow the ‘‘AM
Awardees Contact Information’’
hyperlink located at the bottom of the
page.
For further information or for
additional assistance in identifying the
appropriate M&M contractor to contact,
place contact the FHA Resource Center
at 1–800–CALLFHA (800–225–5342).
