Use the current official form
The Maryland Real Estate Commission publishes the Residential Property Disclosure and Disclaimer Statement. Open the agency’s current PDF and read the instructions, applicability and available options. Do not copy another owner’s answers or assume that an old saved form is still the current version.
Prepare to complete it
- Gather records about the property and known work or conditions.
- Read each question and instruction before selecting an answer or option.
- Ask your agent or attorney about applicability, exemptions or a question you do not understand.
- Keep the completed version and provide it through the required transaction process.
A disclaimer has limits
Choosing a disclaimer is not a reason to hide a known issue or skip other applicable obligations. Property-specific disclosure questions can involve legal requirements, including matters outside this form. Obtain advice when the facts or your obligations are unclear.
For buyers
Read the documents alongside inspections, permit records and your contract. A disclosure is not a warranty or a substitute for investigating the property. Lead-related requirements may apply separately; use the state lead information and appropriate professional guidance.
Use the source agency’s current instructions for your property and circumstances. This guide is general information, not an eligibility decision or legal or tax advice.
