Click HERE for your copy of the disclosure form provided by the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission.
Oklahoma’s Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (60 Okla. Stat. § 831–833) requires sellers of one- and two-unit homes to give buyers honest information about the property’s condition. This helps buyers make informed decisions and reduces the risk of disputes after closing.
Sellers must disclose any known defects, hazards, or issues that could affect the home’s value or anyone’s health or safety. The disclosure must be given before the seller accepts an offer, and it must be updated if the seller learns of a new problem. It also has to be completed within 180 days before it’s delivered to the buyer.
A buyer can’t cancel the contract if a disclosure is missing, but courts may allow them to recover repair costs if a seller or agent knew about a defect and didn’t disclose it. Buyers have two years after the sale to make this type of claim.
What if my property has more than two units? Am I still required to complete the disclosure form?
Oklahoma’s disclosure law applies only to one- and two-unit residential properties, so sellers of larger multi-unit buildings aren’t required to complete the form but are required to disclose any known defects to a potential buyer.
If you’ve never lived in the property and don’t know of any issues, the disclaimer form is a quick alternative. Providing one also helps protect your real estate professionals and supports a smoother, more confident transaction for everyone.
I'm selling vacant land. Am I still required to make disclosures to potential buyers?
Sellers of vacant land are not legally required to complete the disclosure form but are still legally required to disclose any known defects or hazards. Completing a disclosure or disclaimer form is an easy and effective way to meet this obligation.
