The lender properly provides the Notice of Special Flood Hazards to the borrower. Who else must generally receive the notice when there is a loan servicer?
Correct Answer
C) The servicer
Why this is correct: The correct answer is "The servicer." Flood insurance regulations require that the Notice of Special Flood Hazards be provided to both the borrower and the servicer. This ensures the servicer, who will manage the loan and monitor insurance, is aware of the flood hazard and its responsibilities from the outset. Why the other choices are wrong: "Only the property appraiser" is wrong because the appraiser is not a required recipient under the regulation. "Only the seller" is incorrect; the seller is not a party to the loan and does not receive this notice. "Every neighboring property owner" is false; there is no requirement to notify neighbors. Exam tip: Remember the two required recipients for the initial notice: borrower and servicer.
