Louisville Home Seller Disclosure Requirements (2026)

Published October 2, 2025

Kentucky Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition

KRS §324.360 requires sellers to complete a Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition and provide it to buyers before or upon entering contract.

The form covers:

  • Structural components (foundation, roof, walls, floors)
  • Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, water heater
  • Water source (public/well) and sewage type
  • Environmental hazards (lead, asbestos, radon, underground tanks)
  • Flood zone status and drainage issues
  • Legal matters (zoning, easements, liens, HOA)
  • Radon in Kentucky

    Kentucky has moderate radon potential. Disclose any known radon test results. The EPA recommends mitigation above 4 pCi/L. Buyers increasingly request radon testing.

    Lead Paint

    Required for pre-1978 homes.

    Kentucky Transfer Tax

    Kentucky charges a transfer tax of $0.50 per $500 of consideration (0.1%). On a $290,000 sale: $290. Minimal compared to many states.

    No Attorney Requirement

    Kentucky does not require an attorney for residential closings. Title companies handle closing in Louisville.

    HOA Disclosures

    For properties in planned communities, disclose HOA fees, rules, and pending assessments. Provide a copy of the CC&Rs and bylaws upon request.

    Seller's Right to Cure

    Under Kentucky law, if a seller receives notice of a buyer's intent to rescind based on a disclosure issue, the seller has the right to cure the disclosed condition before the buyer can cancel.
