Applications
If you have specific legal questions, please seek the advice of an attorney.
How to Apply:
Businesses that need to apply for a Property Tax Lenders License must create an account and submit the application through NMLS. If you have an existing NMLS account for the entity you are needing to license, log in and apply through that existing account.
