Health and Safety Code section 51657

(a)

The agency shall establish, and may from time to time revise, after public hearings, a schedule of insurance premium rates. The premiums may vary according to the category of the loan and the degree of risk related to the loan. Premiums shall be calculated in an amount which, when added to the other revenues of the insurance program, will be adequate to defray losses occasioned by defaults and the operating expenses of the program, to repay amounts advanced to the agency for purposes of this part, and gradually to expand the insurance availability of the program. Approved lending institutions shall remit premiums to the fund at intervals specified by the agency.

(b)

The agency may prescribe other charges that it finds necessary, including service charges and appraisal, inspection, and other fees.
