Colorado sellers are expected to disclose known material defects, and typically complete a Seller’s Property Disclosure. Honest, complete disclosure protects you from later disputes.

The standard form asks about the roof, foundation, water, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, environmental concerns, and more. Answer based on what you actually know.
Homes built before 1978 require a federal lead-based paint disclosure. Depending on the property, there may be HOA, metro district, or special area disclosures as well.
Failing to disclose known problems can lead to legal claims after closing. If you are unsure, say so, or provide documentation such as repair invoices.
Disclosure rules and requirements can change, and each situation is different. Your agent can walk you through the process, and an attorney can answer legal questions.
