What Is a Property Disclosure Statement?

Throughout most states, when a property is sold, it is the seller’s responsibility to complete a Property Disclosure Statement . This notifies the buyer of any potential negative aspects of the property such as damages or defaults to the property, whether it is at risk of fires or floods, if it is near a military base, or if it ever housed illegal activities.

Alternate Names:

  • Seller's Property Disclosure Statement;
  • Property Condition Disclosure Statement;
  • Seller’s Disclosure Statement.
