Seller’s Disclosure Notice
Plain-English form education, related documents, and how the pieces connect.
What this form is for
Designed to be used to comply with § 5.008 of the Texas Property Code requiring a seller of not more than one residential dwelling to deliver such notice to the buyer on or before the effective date of a contract. Complies with paragraph 7 of many of the TREC contract forms. It is suggested to ask seller to complete the notice at the time of listing. May need to be updated if property condition changes or seller later becomes aware of any defect. Refer to § 5.008 to determine if the notice (whether residential or farm and ranch property) is required for any specific transaction.
