Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The seller's property disclosure statement must, at a
						  minimum, contain the following disclosures:
Seller's Property Disclosure
						  Statement
Property address: ________________
Seller: ________________
A seller must disclose to a buyer all known material
						  defects about property being sold that are not readily observable. This
						  disclosure statement is designed to assist the seller in complying with
						  disclosure requirements and to assist the buyer in evaluating the property
						  being considered.
This statement discloses the seller's knowledge of the
						  condition of the property as of the date signed by the seller and is not a
						  substitute for any inspections or warranties that the buyer may wish to obtain.
						  This statement is not a warranty of any kind by the seller or a warranty or
						  representation by any listing real estate broker, any selling real estate
						  broker or their agents. The buyer is encouraged to address concerns about the
						  condition of the property that may not be included in this statement. This
						  statement does not relieve the seller of the obligation to disclose a material
						  defect that may not be addressed on this form.
A material defect is a problem with the property or any
						  portion of it that would have a significant adverse impact on the value of the
						  residential real property or that involves an unreasonable risk to people on
						  the land. The fact that a structural element, system or subsystem is near, at
						  or beyond the end of its normal useful life is not by itself a material
						  defect.
