Download Legal Massachusetts Disclosures Forms For Free

Massachusetts has a relatively light disclosure requirement. It is often referred to as a 'caveat emptor' regime, or in plain English 'buyer beware'. The two main disclosure requirements are confined to whether there has been lead paint used anywhere in the property and whether there is a septic system installed.

MassHealth providers, MCEs, fiscal agents, and other disclosing entities seeking to provide MassHealth services must disclose information about business ownership and control, business transactions, and criminal convictions.

Although a disclosure statement is not required, the state does mandate the disclosure of two types of information to any prospective buyer: the existence and hazards of lead paint, and the presence of a septic system on the property. Sellers in Massachusetts must disclose the presence of lead to prospective buyers.

Massachusetts law requires only that home sellers disclose the existence of lead paint (see the Massachusetts Lead Paint Statute) and the presence of a septic system (see Title 5 of the Massachusetts Environmental Code).
