Oregon Seller's Property Disclosure Statement

Oregon sellers have a duty to disclose important facts that may negatively impact the value of the property. The way they do this is through completing a property disclosure statement.

There are three versions of the disclosure statement published by the Oregon Association of Realtors, which one you use depends on the type of property. The versions are:

1. Seller Property Disclosure Statement (for 1-4 unit residential sales)
2. Seller Agricultural Land Disclosure
3. Seller Vacant Land Disclosure

We will provide you a free .pdf copy of any Oregon Association of Realtors disclosure upon submitting a flat fee MLS listing through our website. We charge a one-time fee of $95 to list your home on the MLS.

The format for the Property Disclosure Statement is defined by Oregon statute 105.464.
