California Carbon Monoxide Detector Compliance

The California Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2010 requires the owner of a dwelling unit intended for human occupancy install a carbon monoxide device, approved and listed by the
State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 13263, in each existing dwelling unit having a fossil fuel burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage.

In most cases, California home sellers must also disclose whether or not the home has a carbon monoxide detector installed. The CAR version of the California Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) has a checkbox which enables sellers to satisfy this disclosure requirement.
