Montana Septic System Disclosure and Acknowledgement

This Septic System Disclosure and Acknowledgment notifies the buyer that the property uses an onsite septic system rather than a municipal sewer system and explains that homeowners are responsible for its operation and maintenance. It outlines that septic systems are designed based on factors such as the number of bedrooms and must comply with state and local regulations, which may require upgrades or replacement if the system fails or is found to be non-compliant. The disclosure also states that system failures can occur for many reasons, that the seller is not responsible for failures after closing, and that brokers and agents make no guarantees or representations regarding the condition or compliance of the system.

If a property is serviced by a septic system, the seller has the option to include this disclosure with the listing. To do so, the seller must add the property address and the applicable date to indicate that the disclosure should be included.
