Questions or Comments Regarding This Information?

Effective October 1, 2011 USDA Rural Development will make the following changes to the Guaranteed Housing Loan Guarantee Annual Fees:

Purchase transaction Guarantee Up-front Fees will decrease from 3.5% to 2.00%
USDA will adopt an initial annual fee of .3% of the unpaid principal loan balance for the life of the loan
The Guarantee Fee on refinance transaction remains unchanged at 1.00%

The purpose of this change is to ensure that USDA Guaranteed Loan Program remains "budget neutral" or self-funding without any government funding or assistance.

The annual fee of .3% will be based on the outstanding balance of the loan, at the anniversary date of the loan origination, and collected based on an annual period. The .3% will be charged for the life of the loan.
