New Mineral, Oil and Gas Rights Disclosure Required on All Residential Transactions Starting January


Effective January 1, 2015, sellers of most improved residential properties will be required to provide a separate Mineral, Oil and Gas Rights Mandatory Disclosure Statement to prospective buyers no later than the time they make an offer.

The disclosure must be provided by sellers whose properties are already on the market on January 1st (unless it is under contract as of that date) or that go on the market on or after January 1, 2015.  It is therefore important for Realtors® to begin getting the disclosure statement completed by their sellers! 

You can download a copy of the form from the NC Real Estate Commission website HERE.

The new law will apply to all sellers who are required to provide a Residential Property and Owners Association Disclosure Statement. In addition, it will apply to new construction sales, leases with options to purchase and sales where the parties agree not to complete a Residential Property and Owners Association Disclosure Statement.
