What disclosures am I required to make as a seller in New Jersey?

New Jersey law requires sellers to complete a Seller's Property Condition Disclosure Statement covering known material defects in the roof, basement, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, and other systems. Homes built before 1978 require a lead-based paint disclosure. You must also disclose any environmental hazards, past flooding, or structural issues. Full disclosure protects you from future legal claims.

Why It Matters

Failure to disclose known defects can result in lawsuits and financial liability long after the sale is complete.
