North Carolina · Seller disclosures
What you must disclose to a buyer in North Carolina.
North Carolina law (Residential Property Disclosure Act, G.S. Chapter 47E) requires the seller to deliver TWO statements before the buyer makes an offer: the Residential Property and Owners' Association Disclosure Statement, and a SEPARATE Mineral and Oil & Gas Rights Disclosure. Each lets you answer Yes / No / "No Representation" per item.
Legal note: Both NC statements must reach the buyer BEFORE they make an offer. Deliver them late and the buyer can cancel the contract (and recover their deposit) — generally any time before closing or within 3 days of receiving the statements, whichever comes first.
01 · Required
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 47E-4Residential Property and Owners' Association Disclosure Statement
Issued by North Carolina Real Estate Commission (NCREC)
Mandatory. Covers the condition of the property (structure, roof, systems, water/sewer, hazards) AND owners'-association obligations (dues, special assessments). For each item you may answer Yes, No, or "No Representation" — but "No Representation" does NOT let you hide a defect you actually know about.

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 47E-4.1Mineral and Oil & Gas Rights Mandatory Disclosure Statement
Issued by North Carolina Real Estate Commission (NCREC)
A SEPARATE mandatory statement (boldface, conspicuous) disclosing whether mineral, oil or gas rights have been severed from the property. You may only answer "No Representation" as to a PRIOR severance. Must be delivered alongside the main disclosure.

Issued by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Mandatory for any residential property BUILT BEFORE 1978. The seller must disclose known lead-based-paint hazards and provide the EPA pamphlet "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home". Buyer has a 10-day inspection window. Skip this and the sale can be unwound after closing — federal law trumps state.
