Seller’s Real Property Disclosure in Nevada: What Buyers and Sellers Should Know
In Nevada, the Seller’s Real Property Disclosure (SRPD) is not optional—it is a legal requirement governed by Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 113 and administered under guidelines set by the Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED). If you are buying or selling a residential property in Nevada, understanding this disclosure is essential.
What Is the Seller’s Real Property Disclosure?
The Seller’s Real Property Disclosure is a state-mandated written form in which the seller discloses any known defects or material facts that could affect the value or desirability of the property. Nevada law requires sellers to complete the official SRPD form approved by NRED and deliver it to the buyer before the buyer signs a purchase agreement, or as otherwise allowed under statute.
The disclosure is based on the seller’s actual knowledge. Sellers are not required to investigate or guess about conditions—but they must disclose known issues, even if those issues have been repaired.
What Must Be Disclosed Under Nevada Law
Under NRS Chapter 113, the disclosure typically addresses known conditions related to:
Roof, foundation, and structural components
Plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling systems
Water intrusion, drainage, or flooding issues
Environmental or soil conditions
Appliances and mechanical systems included in the sale
Any other known material defects that may affect the property’s value or safety
Failure to disclose known defects can expose a seller to civil liability, including potential rescission or damages after closing.
Why the Disclosure Matters
For buyers, the SRPD provides critical insight into the home’s condition before committing to the purchase. It helps buyers make informed decisions, plan inspections, and understand potential risks or future expenses.
For sellers, a complete and honest disclosure demonstrates good faith, reduces surprises during escrow, and helps protect against post-sale disputes or legal claims.
What the Disclosure Is—and Is Not
The Seller’s Real Property Disclosure is not a warranty and not a replacement for a professional home inspection. Buyers are strongly encouraged to conduct their own inspections to identify conditions that may not be known to the seller. Likewise, sellers are only responsible for disclosing what they actually know at the time the form is completed.
Nevada Real Estate Division Guidance
NRED emphasizes that licensees must ensure the SRPD is properly completed, delivered, and acknowledged, but real estate agents do not complete the form for the seller. The responsibility for accuracy rests solely with the seller, making careful review and truthful responses essential.
Whether you’re preparing to sell or evaluating a purchase in Nevada, the Seller’s Real Property Disclosure plays a vital role in a transparent and legally compliant transaction. When completed correctly, it protects both parties and supports a smoother closing process.
