If you’re making plans to sell your Nevada home, you may be wondering how much you need to reveal on the Nevada seller disclosure form, officially known as the Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form.
Disclosure forms provide potential buyers with a clearer picture of your property’s condition and history, giving them all of the information they need to make an informed decision about your property. They are also often legally required in most states. Additionally, they can protect you from any potential legal hiccups that could

What is the Nevada seller disclosure form?
The Nevada seller disclosure form, or Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form, is a document developed by the Nevada Association of Realtors. It’s designed to help you disclose any known issues or facts about your home that could impact its value or a buyer’s decision to purchase the property.
Nevada law requires sellers to disclose all material facts — in other words, anything that could impact the buyer’s use or enjoyment of the property. The Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form acts as a guide to help you do this thoroughly. It covers everything from structural issues and past repairs to neighborhood conditions and HOA rules.
Note: Even if you’re selling a home “as is” in Nevada, you’re still required to be truthful and transparent about what you know.

Use this link to download a printable checklist (62KB) to prepare for completing the Nevada seller disclosure form. The questions on this Seller Disclosure Litmus Test reflect the types of details and issues you may need to reveal about your home — and what buyers expect to know.
Check off anything that applies to your Nevada property. If you’re unsure about something, make a note to ask your real estate agent or investigate further. The goal is to help you think through what needs to be documented and disclosed during the sale process.
What is not required to be disclosed? Nevada law does not require you to disclose if someone died in the home (unless it was a direct result of the condition of the property), if a previous occupant had HIV or AIDS, or if a sex offender lives nearby. You’re also not obligated to disclose rumors about the neighborhood or the presence of supposed paranormal activity. Personal reasons for selling are also exempt, unless you are directly asked and your answer could be misleading about the condition of the property.

Common mistakes sellers make on the disclosure form
Here are some of the most common missteps sellers make when filling out the Nevada Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form:
- Checking “yes” without providing an explanation: If you check a yes box that includes an “Explain” line, not providing the details could lead to delays with the transaction.
- Guessing instead of explaining: If you’re not sure about something, it’s very important that you don’t make assumptions — just state that you don’t know or add an explanation.
- Failing to attach supporting documents: Inspection reports, permits, repair invoices, and warranties help verify your disclosures.
- Not disclosing repaired issues: Even if you’ve fixed a problem listed on the form, like a roof leak or plumbing issue, it still needs to be reported.
- Minimizing or softening the truth: Never downplay a defect. Doing so can open you up to legal risk if the buyer later discovers the issue was worse than initially described.
What if you fail to disclose something important?
If you fail to disclose a known material fact about your Nevada home, the buyer may have grounds to cancel the contract or sue you after the sale. In some cases, nondisclosure can be treated as fraud under Nevada law, especially if the omission appears intentional. Being upfront now helps prevent bigger headaches later.
When and how buyers review the disclosure
Under Nevada’s standard purchase contract, you’re expected to provide a completed Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form within 10 days of contract acceptance. The buyer then has a set review period, typically five days, to examine the form and decide whether to proceed, request repairs, or even cancel the deal outright.
