The OCC, Federal Reserve Board, and CFPB are finalizing amendments to update the exemption threshold for appraisal requirements on higher-priced mortgage loans. Based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, the threshold increases from $33,500 to $34,200 for transactions occurring in 2026. This adjustment, effective January 1, 2026, relieves smaller loan transactions from specific appraisal mandates under the Truth in Lending Act.
