1.) Lead-Based Paint Disclosure: Sellers of residential properties built before 1978 must inform buyers of any known lead-based paint hazards (42 U.S. Code § 4852d).

2.) Off-Site Conditions: This notice alerts buyers to municipal lists detailing off-site environmental conditions, such as contaminated areas (§ 46:3C-8). While it is only mandatory for newly constructed properties, it is standard practice in all residential transactions to limit seller liability for neighborhood conditions. (This notice is already included in the NJR Purchase Agreement).

3.) Point-of-Entry Treatment (POET) Systems Notice: If the property has a POET water filtration system funded by the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund, the seller must inform the buyer that state funding will cease upon transfer (§ 7:1J-2.5). Additionally, the seller must deliver written notice of the sale to the Department of Environmental Protection within 30 days of executing the contract. (This notice is already included in the NJR Purchase Agreement).

4.) Private Well Testing Disclosure: Properties that rely on a private well for drinking water must be tested for specific contaminants prior to transferring the real estate title (§ 58:12A-27). Both the buyer and seller must review the official laboratory results and sign a certification acknowledging their receipt. Review New Jersey’s Well Testing Act for more information.

5.) Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Statement: This comprehensive questionnaire is legally mandatory as of August 2024 (P.L. 2024, c. 32). It outlines the property’s condition and all known material defects. This form also includes a state-mandated radon disclosure.
