RULE §89.503Format

(a) Disclosures for property tax loan transactions must be printed in an easily readable font and type size. If other state or federal law requires a different type size for a specific disclosure or contractual provision, the type size specified by the other law should be used.

(b) The text of the document must be set in an easily readable typeface. Typefaces considered to be readable include: Times New Roman, Calibri, Scala, Caslon, Century Schoolbook, Helvetica, and Garamond.

(c) Typeface size is referred to in points. Because different typefaces in the same point size are not of equal size, typeface is not strictly defined but is expressed as a minimum size in the Calibri typeface for visual comparative purposes. Generally, the typeface for the body of the disclosures must be at least as large as 11 point in the Calibri typeface. The typeface for the headings must be in boldface type and at least as large as 12 point in the Calibri typeface. A point is generally viewed as 1/72nd of an inch.
