Comply with Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Requirements

If you're selling or leasing pre-1978 residential property, federal law requires you to disclose known information about lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before the sale or lease becomes final. This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form helps real estate agents, property managers, landlords, and sellers meet EPA compliance requirements quickly and professionally.

Why Use This Template?

The EPA's Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule (40 CFR Part 745) mandates that sellers and landlords provide buyers and tenants with specific information about lead-based paint hazards in housing built before 1978. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, legal liability, and transaction delays.

This Paperform template streamlines the entire disclosure process by collecting all required information in one organized, legally compliant form. You can customize fields, add your branding, and integrate with your existing real estate workflow tools—all without touching a single line of code.

What's Included

Our template covers all federally mandated disclosure requirements:

• Seller's disclosure statement documenting known lead-based paint and hazards
• Records and reports section for existing inspection or risk assessment documentation
• Buyer acknowledgment confirming receipt of disclosures and the EPA pamphlet "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home"
• Buyer's inspection contingency waiver or acknowledgment of 10-day testing opportunity
• Agent certification section for real estate professionals involved in the transaction
• Electronic signature fields for all parties using Papersign integration
