It is important that the DFI maintain complete, accurate, and up-to-date information on the real estate loan portfolios of licensees to determine current risk and assess the potential effect of any proposed regulatory or statutory changes at the federal and/or state level on our licensees. The annual Commissioner’s Mortgage Survey collects data on residential mortgage loans secured by 1- 4 unit Family Residential Property and has been requested of bank and credit union licensees every fall for the past three years. The current Survey schedule differs from previous surveys by requesting year-end data for 2011. The Commissioner of Financial Institutions directs licensees to complete and submit the 2012 Commissioner’s Residential Mortgage Survey as a special report, pursuant to California Financial Code section 455. Please note: Survey notifications are emailed to each institution’s designated email address for communications with the DFI in accordance with the July 2010 Commissioner Order on Electronic Communications. Questions can be directed to survey@dfi.ca.gov.
