Fortunately, in states like California, sellers must disclose this information up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\" id=\"local-sellers-disclosure\"><strong>Lesser-Known Property Disclosures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some state-specific seller disclosures are usually not known to home sellers. A few of them are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Paranormal Activities<\/strong>: Some states require sellers to disclose known paranormal activity in a home. However, since only a few states enforce this, it\u2019s a lesser-known rule buyers and sellers should check. <br>Currently, three states\u2014New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota\u2014explicitly include paranormal activity in their disclosure laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nearby Sex Offenders<\/strong>: To ensure buyer safety, sellers should disclose nearby sex offender details. For example, California requires signing the <a   href=\"https:\/\/rentalleaseagreements.com\/ca\/california-megans-law-disclosure-form-pdf-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Megan\u2019s Law Database Disclosure Form<\/a> during transactions. However, this form places responsibility on buyers to search the offender database if they choose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Military Airport Disclosure<\/strong>: Arizona and <a   href=\"https:\/\/virginiarealtors.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlm_uploads\/2017\/04\/Virginia-REALTORS-Form-310-Military-Air-Installation-Disclosure-2019-10-Fillable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Virginia<\/a> require military airport disclosures to inform buyers of potential risks.

If they skip inspections, sellers aren\u2019t liable for undisclosed issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, sellers still can\u2019t hide certain risks. For example, homicides or suicides are typically left off disclosure forms, as they\u2019re seen as irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"types-of-disclosure-states\"><strong>Types of Disclosure States<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>States fall into two groups based on how they handle home sale prices: Full Disclosure States publicly share this data, while Non-Disclosure States keep it private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>What Is a Full Disclosure State?<\/strong><\/td><td>In some states, like Maryland, you can find the sale price of a property on various <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/best-real-estate-websites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">real estate websites<\/a>.
