Idaho Seller's Property Condition Disclosure

The Idaho Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure is required under the Idaho Property Condition Disclosure Act for the sale of residential properties with one to four dwelling units. Sellers must disclose any known material defects or conditions that could affect the property's value, safety, or desirability. If a seller fails to disclose known issues and the buyer later discovers problems that should have been revealed, the seller may be held responsible for resulting damages.

Idaho law requires the seller to provide the completed, signed, and dated disclosure form to the buyer (or the buyer’s agent) within 10 days after accepting the buyer’s offer. Buyers also have a three-day right to cancel the purchase agreement after receiving the disclosure form, making it important for sellers to provide the disclosure as soon as possible.
