Connecticut Seller Disclosure
Connecticut requires sellers to complete the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report — a standardized form covering the property's physical condition, systems, and known defects. Deliver it to the buyer before or at offer acceptance.
What the form covers
Lead Paint
For homes built before 1978, federal law requires the EPA Lead Paint Disclosure form and a 10-day inspection window. This applies in addition to the CT disclosure report.
Attorney Requirement
Connecticut is one of roughly 20 attorney-close states. A licensed CT real estate attorney must handle the closing — this is not optional. Budget $800–$1,500 for attorney fees.
Conveyance Tax
Connecticut charges a real estate conveyance tax of 1.25% on the first $800,000 and 2.25% above that. On a $350,000 sale that's $4,375 — plan accordingly.
