FHA Announces New Condo Approval Rule

From NAHB Now

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) this week published a final regulation that establishes a new condominium approval process.

The new rule reinstates FHA’s ability to insure a limited number of units in projects that have not received FHA approval and will also extend the recertification requirement for approved condominium projects from two to three years.

However, in a provision strongly opposed by NAHB, FHA will no longer approve projects that are proposed or under construction.
