SBA Policy Notice
TO: All Employees
CONTROL NO.: 5000-857
SUBJECT: Escrow Policy for Commercial Real EFFECTIVE:
Estate Taxes and Insurance for 7(a)
Loans
3/19/2003
The purpose of this Policy Notice is to announce the implementation of guidance to permit the use of an escrow account to hold money owed for property taxes, hazard insurance, and for flood and earthquake insurance when applicable on certain collateral securing Section 7(a) guaranteed loans. This policy is effective immediately.
SBA has determined that it will permit the establishment of escrow accounts so that the prompt and regular payments of real estate taxes and insurance on real property financed with an SBA guaranteed loan can be maintained.
New Policy Language
The language below will be inserted as paragraph 8.g. on the bottom of page 175 of SOP 50-10(4)(E), in Subpart A, Chapter 6 (Loan Processing Considerations):
g. Escrow Accounts for Real Estate Taxes and Insurance for 7(a) Loans
(1) When a lender is in a senior lien position on commercial real property financed with an SBA guaranteed loan, the borrower and lender may agree to establish an escrow account for the purpose of collecting and paying the real estate taxes, hazard insurance, and for flood and earthquake insurance when applicable (or if SBA is in a junior lien position when an escrow account does not exist with the senior lien holder);
(2) The amount of money collected for an escrow account may not exceed 105 percent of the amount charged in the current year by the taxing authority or insurance company for the total requirement to pay the annual real estate taxes and insurance;
(3) The account must be FDIC insured and pay the borrower a money market rate of interest, or the rate typically paid on escrow accounts for commercial real property on non-SBA guaranteed loans, whichever is greater;
(4) Except for those items specifically covered by this Policy Notice, the real estate tax and insurance escrow account will be consistent with accounts required of the lender's conventional borrowers and the lender will use similar procedures to administer the escrow accounts on its SBA loans as it does for its non-SBA guaranteed loans [Small Business Lending Companies (SBLCs) must be consistent with the practices followed by federally regulated financial institutions];
(5) Lenders must remit to the borrower all interest that has accrued on an escrow account and statements regarding the account, on a periodic basis no greater than one year, unless otherwise required by state or Federal law; and
(6) Upon the termination of the escrow account, the remaining excess escrow funds must be returned to the borrower within 15 days of termination.
Questions Questions from lenders and other parties should be directed to the local SBA office. Questions from SBA field staff should be directed to James.Hammersley@.
