Nashville – The Commissioner of Financial Institutions Greg Gonzales recently announced the maximum effective rate of interest per annum for home loans for the month of April is 7.95% per annum.

For the most recent weekly average statistical data available preceding the date of this announcement, the calculated rate is 3.95%.
Persons affected by the maximum effective rate of interest for home loans as set forth in this notice should consult legal counsel as to the effect of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-221 as amended by P.L. 96-399) and regulations pursuant to that Act promulgated by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. State usury laws as they relate to certain loans made after March 31, 1980, may be preempted by this Act.
