California Local Area Disclosures

Different than state level disclosures, local area disclosures can be enacted by cities, counties, etc.

Below is a list of known local disclosures for this state, organized alphabetically by county. This list is not comprehensive. You usually can get further information on local disclosures from:

• a local escrow/title company,
• buyer's agent,
• county website/offices, or
• from the local association of realtors

You can submit any known local disclosures, including a website reference, here and we will review and have them added to the list. Note that the links below may not be current or have current versions of the local area disclosures, please review carefully. Counties marked "N/K" does not mean local disclosures do not exist.
