Arizona Seller Disclosures

Seller Resources/Seller Disclosures

Your Seller Disclosures

Disclose it, and protect yourself.

Arizona law requires sellers to disclose known material facts about their home: anything that could affect its value or a buyer’s decision. Full disclosure protects you, because issues disclosed up front rarely become disputes later.

What You’ll Provide

Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS) Within 3 days after acceptance; often shared at listing
Insurance claims history (5 years) Within 5 days after acceptance
Lead-based paint disclosure Homes built before 1978

Solar documents Leased or financed systems, within 3 days

Completing Your SPDS

Your own knowledgeThe SPDS must reflect what you know. I can explain questions, but I can’t fill it out for you.
When in doubt, discloseIf you’re unsure whether something matters, disclose it and explain.
Past issues countDisclose past problems even if they were repaired, and attach receipts and warranties.
Don’t leave blanksAnswer every question; explain “yes” answers, or write “unknown” when that’s true.
Keep it currentIf something changes before closing, such as a new leak, update your disclosures promptly.
Attach what you haveInspection reports, permits and service records help buyers understand the home.

What Arizona Doesn’t Require You to Disclose

Under A.R.S. § 32-2156, sellers aren’t liable for not disclosing that the home was the site of a natural death, suicide, homicide or other felony; was occupied by someone with HIV/AIDS or another disease not spread through occupancy; or is near a registered sex offender. Never make a false statement in response to a direct question.

  • Roof, HVAC, pest and pool service records
  • HOA contacts, dues and any special assessments
