However, effective January 1, 2013, affiliates and subsidiaries of federally chartered institutions will no longer be exempt from the Maryland Mortgage Lender Law and must be licensed as Maryland Mortgage Lenders to conduct Maryland mortgage lending business, unless another exemption applies.
- The Maryland Mortgage Lender Law currently has a de minimis exemption for a person who makes three or fewer mortgage loans per calendar year or a broker who makes no more than one mortgage loan per year. However, effective January 1, 2013, the Maryland Mortgage Lender Law will no longer have a de minimis exemption and persons who conduct Maryland mortgage lending business must be licensed as Maryland Mortgage Lenders, unless another exemption applies.
