Michigan Real Estate Disclosure Requirements

There are two primary disclosure requirements that must be completed in Michigan. Click the links below to view the disclosure forms and learn more about each requirement.

1. Michigan Seller's Disclosure Statement (for 1-4 Residential Dwelling Units)
2. Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosures and Pamphlet (if built before 1978)

You May Also Need to Complete One or More of These Disclosures:

1. Federal Real Estate Disclosures

Requirements When Buying a Property:

1. Federal Tax Withholding In Real Estate Sales (FIRPTA)

We will need your completed disclosures in order to activate your MLS listing, which costs just a one-time fee of $95. You can upload the disclosures when creating your MLS listing and we will add them as attachments to your MLS listing. Buyer agents will have them signed and included with any offer.

When Should I Provide These Disclosures?

Before contract ratification. One way to ensure that is to complete the disclosures, upload them to your MLS listing, and require that the buyer/tenant sign and deliver them with their initial offer.
