- Florida law requires sellers to disclose all known material facts that affect a residential property's value and are not readily observable by the buyer.
- Specific statutory disclosures are mandated for lead-based paint (in pre-1978 homes), radon gas, and Homeowners' Association rules, each with precise requirements.
- The property tax disclosure serves as a mandatory warning that a new owner's tax bill may be significantly different from the seller's.
- Sellers must disclose any active building code violations and inform buyers if the property is located within a Community Development District (CDD).
- Certain facts, such as a death having occurred on the property, are not considered material facts under Florida law and do not require disclosure.
