Know Your Disclosure Duties In Virginia

Virginia operates under a modified Caveat Emptor framework. Sellers must provide a signed Residential Property Disclosure Statement before contract ratification, but the form largely advises buyers to conduct their own due diligence rather than requiring detailed condition disclosures.

Flood Risk Disclosure: Required if the property has a history of repetitive flood insurance claims.

Lead-Based Paint (Pre-1978 Homes): Disclose known lead hazards, provide an EPA pamphlet, allow 10 days for inspection.

Military Air Installation Disclosure: Required for homes near military bases in designated noise or accident potential zones.

HOA / POA Documents: Provide resale certificate with governing documents and fees if part of an HOA or POA.
