Connecticut FSBO Disclosure Requirements (2026)

Connecticut Disclosure Law

Connecticut General Statutes §20-327b requires sellers to provide a Property Condition Disclosure Report to buyers before or at the time of signing a purchase agreement.

What Must Be Disclosed

Roof age and condition

Basement water or moisture issues

Foundation or structural defects

Heating, plumbing, and electrical systems

Well and septic condition (if applicable)

Underground oil storage tanks

Radon test results (if available)

Lead paint (pre-1978 homes — federal requirement)

Any pending litigation or encumbrances

Underground Oil Tanks

Connecticut has strict regulations on underground oil storage tanks. Sellers must disclose any known tanks, whether active or decommissioned. Buyers often require a tank sweep as a condition of sale.

Radon

Connecticut has elevated radon levels in many areas. While not legally required to test, sellers who have tested must disclose results. Buyers commonly add a radon contingency.

Exemptions

New construction by a builder, foreclosure sales, and transfers by court order are exempt.

Penalties

Failure to disclose known material defects exposes sellers to rescission claims and damages under CGS §20-327b. Connecticut courts have allowed buyers to recover attorney fees in proven concealment cases.
