For what type of property is a seller's disclosure form always required?

The seller's disclosure form is always required for single-family residential dwellings because this type of property is specifically regulated under real estate laws designed to protect consumers. These laws mandate that sellers disclose known material defects or issues within the property that could affect its value or desirability. The intent is to provide potential buyers with essential information to make informed decisions and to promote transparency in the real estate transaction process.

In contrast, while commercial properties, vacant land, and condominiums may have their own disclosure requirements, they do not universally require a seller’s disclosure form in the same way single-family homes do. Each of these property types may be subject to different regulations or practices depending on local laws and market conditions, which is why they are not uniformly required to have a seller's disclosure.
