California: Seller to Disclose
The following the requirement for the seller to diclose in California.
1102.6c. (a) In addition to any other disclosure required pursuant to this article, it shall be the sole responsibility of the seller of any real property subject to this article, or his or her agent, to deliver to the prospective purchaser a disclosure notice that includes both of the following:
1. A notice, in at least 12-point type or a contrasting color, as follows:
"California property tax law requires the Assessor to revalue real property at the time the ownership of the property changes. Because of this law, you may receive one or two supplemental tax bills, depending on when your loan closes.
The supplemental tax bills are not mailed to your lender. If you have arranged for your property tax payments to be paid through an impound account, the supplemental tax bills will not be paid by your lender. It is your responsibility to pay these supplemental bills directly to the Tax Collector.
If you have any question concerning this matter, please call your local Tax Collector's Office."
2. A title, in at least 14-point type or a contrasting color that reads as follows: "Notice of Your 'Supplemental' Property Tax Bill."
- Keep in mind that including the required information in the Mello-Roos disclosure may satisfy the disclosure notice requirements of this section. Supplemental taxes may be assessed whether a new loan is obtained or an existing loan is assumed to accomplish the purchase of the property, or whether the property is purchased without financing.
My quesition is, how does the seller to disclose the above information? which CAR form to use?
