Salt Lake City Home Seller Disclosure Requirements (2026)

Published October 2, 2025

Utah Seller Property Condition Disclosure

Utah Code §57-27-101 et seq. requires sellers of residential property to complete a Seller Property Condition Disclosure and deliver it to buyers before or upon offer acceptance. Buyers have 3 business days after receipt to review.

The form covers:

  • Structural elements (foundation, roof, walls)
  • Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
  • Water source and sewer type
  • Radon, asbestos, and lead paint
  • Environmental contamination
  • HOA, easements, and legal issues
  • Radon in Utah

    Utah has moderate-to-high radon potential in many areas. If you have a radon test result, disclose it. The EPA recommends mitigation above 4 pCi/L. Radon testing is inexpensive ($15–$30 DIY kit) and buyers increasingly request it.

    Lead Paint

    Required for pre-1978 homes. Written disclosure, EPA pamphlet, and 10-day inspection period.

    HOA Disclosure

    If the property is in an HOA, Utah Code §57-8a requires delivery of a resale disclosure certificate covering: annual fees, reserves, pending assessments, litigation, and CC&Rs. The HOA must provide this within 10 days of request ($200–$400 fee is common).

    No Transfer Tax

    Utah has no statewide real estate transfer tax. This is a significant benefit compared to states like California, NY, or DC.

    Water Rights

    In rural or semi-rural Utah areas, water rights can be a separate property interest. Disclose any water shares, irrigation company shares, or shares in a canal company associated with the property.
