Threshold for Loan Amount Exempt from HOEPA

Answered by: 

Question: 
We are making a loan in the amount of $4500 for one year against the borrowers primary residence for the purpose of paying delinquent real estate taxes. The rate will be 7.50% and total fees will be less than $528. The loan is not an HPML, but what about HOEPA? The APR will be over the 8.00% plus treasury but my fees will be less than $528.00. Is there any threshold for a loan amount to be exempt from HOEPA. Please advise.
Answer: 

Is there any threshold for a loan amount to be exempt from HOEPA.

No. Regardless of loan amount if it exceeds the APR or fees and charges threshold then it is subject to HOEPA.
