24 C.F.R. § 200.933
§ 200.933 Changes in minimum property standards. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
Changes in the Minimum Property Standards will generally be made every three years. Changes will be made in accordance with HUD policy for the adoption of rules and regulations set forth in part 10 of this title. Notice of such changes will be published in the Federal Register. As the changes are made, they will be incorporated into the volumes of the Minimum Property Standards to which they apply. The volumes available for public examination and for purchase will contain all changes up to the date of examination or purchase. An official, historic file of such changes will be available in the office of the Rules Docket Clerk in the HUD Central Office in Washington, DC, and in each HUD Regional, Area, and Insuring Office. A similar copy of the standards will also be maintained in the Office of the Federal Register, Washington, DC.
Under 24 CFR Part 200 § 200.933, HUD's Minimum Property Standards are subject to periodic revision, generally on a three-year cycle, following the agency's standard rulemaking procedures outlined in 10 CFR Part 10. Each update is announced through the Federal Register and folded into the relevant volumes of the Standards, so that any copy available for public review or purchase reflects all changes made through that date. Official historical records of every change are kept at HUD's Central Office in Washington, D.C., at regional and local HUD offices, and at the Office of the Federal Register.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers working with HUD-insured financing should be aware that the Minimum Property Standards referenced in § 200.933 are a living set of requirements, typically updated every three years. Operators who stay current with Federal Register notices can track when new versions take effect and ensure that properties undergoing appraisal or inspection are evaluated against the most recent standards. Maintaining access to the current volumes—available through HUD offices or for purchase—is a common practice among compliant operators who want to confirm which edition of the Standards applies to a given transaction.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For tenants in HUD-insured housing, § 200.933 establishes that the property standards governing your building's physical condition can change over time, with updates published in the Federal Register and archived at HUD offices nationwide. If you have concerns about whether a property meets applicable standards, you can request to review the current volumes at a HUD Regional, Area, or Insuring Office, or consult the Office of the Federal Register in Washington, D.C. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with HUD programs can help you understand which version of the Minimum Property Standards may be relevant and what complaint or inquiry channels are available to you.
