Required Disclosures
Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (42 U.S. Code § 4852d) – Prospective buyers must be presented with paperwork related to lead-based paint and any potential hazards it may cause if the property was produced before 1978.
Residential Property Disclosure and Disclaimer Statement (§ 10-702) – The state dictates the seller’s obligation to prepare and deliver a disclosure form to the purchaser that registers any know latent defects that may be existing within the home for sale. This document also has the dual function as a disclaimer, which essentially states that the property is being sold “as is”. (Also available in Microsoft Word (.docx).)
