The respondents are developers (or
attorneys or others who work for them). Developers must submit an
initial Statement of Record (registration) to the CFPB and receive
an effective date before they can offer lots for sale or lease. The
Statement of Record includes the proposed property report and
additional information and documents that support the developer's
disclosures in the property report. The developer is responsible
for ensuring that the registration is accurate and does not omit
information needed for a purchaser to make an informed decision.
Developers must give purchasers an effective property report before
the purchaser signs the sales contract. Developers must submit
amendments to their registrations if any information in their
initial registration changes. They must also submit a consolidated
filing if they offer additional lots for sale. Each year the
developer must submit an annual financial statement and an annual
report that is prepared in the format required by Section 1010.310
of the regulations. A developer may voluntarily suspend his
registration by submitting a Voluntary Suspension form or through
the Annual Report. There are no other forms. The CFPB conducts a
facial review of the submissions. The developer may request an
Advisory Opinion if a developer has questions about the
applicability of one of the exemptions from registration. A CFPB
determination is required only if a developer claims an exemption
from registration under the multiple site or substantial compliance
exemption. The other 24 exemptions are self determining. Finally,
the CFPB may require additional information from developers in
response to investigations of complaints. The Voluntary Suspension
form is voluntary and is a convenient way for developers to
voluntarily suspend their registration. The form is not required
and is not the only way that developers may close their
registration. They may also end their registration through their
annual report.
