An act relating to flooding disclosures when conveying real estate
Read first time and referred to the Committee on General and Housing
Summary
The bill adds new flood‑risk disclosure requirements to Vermont’s real‑estate sale law. Sellers must provide buyers with the official flood map, note if no map exists, disclose any known flooding or flood‑related damage while they owned the property, and say whether flood insurance is required or maintained. If the seller never lived on the property, they may satisfy the flood‑damage disclosure by simply stating in writing that they never resided there and therefore can’t confirm flood history, unless they actually know of flood damage.
