Are you an Oklahoma homeowner who is looking to sell your home? If that’s the case, there’s a good chance you know your home better than anyone, flaws and all.
However, when thinking about selling, you might be curious how much information about your property’s condition you need to reveal on the Oklahoma seller disclosure form, officially known as the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement.
Disclosure forms like this are a great way to protect yourself from any potential legal hiccups that could occur as a result of failing to disclose key information about your property; however, it’s also the best way to give your buyer peace of mind about the property’s condition. These forms are also typically required by law in most states.
In this post, we’ll tell you what to expect, how much detail to provide, and what could go wrong if you leave something out. We’ll also provide a downloadable Disclosure Litmus Test to help you identify any red flags.
What is the Oklahoma seller disclosure form?
The Oklahoma seller disclosure form, or Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement, is a document developed by the Oklahoma 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 continue with the sale.
Oklahoma 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 Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement acts as a guide to help you do this as accurately as possible. 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 Oklahoma, 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 Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma 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? Oklahoma law requires material facts to be disclosed. This means you are not required to disclose if someone died in the home, if a previous occupant had HIV or AIDS, or if the home was, or is suspected to have been the site of a homicide, suicide, or other felony.
You’re also not obligated to disclose neighborhood rumors, the presence of alleged paranormal activity, or your personal reasons for selling (unless these somehow contradict a previous answer and could be viewed as misleading).
Common mistakes sellers make on the disclosure form
Here are some of the most common missteps sellers make when filling out the Oklahoma Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement:
- Checking “yes” without providing an explanation: If you check a yes box that includes an “Explain” line, don’t skimp on the details. Doing so could lead to problems down the line.
- Guessing instead of explaining: If you’re not sure about something, don’t make assumptions — just state that you don’t know or add an explanation. This could also be viewed as intentionally misleading.
- Failing to attach supporting documents: Inspection reports, permits, repair invoices, and warranties are important to hang onto and can help verify the information on your disclosure form.
- 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: Downplaying a defect can open you up to legal risk if the buyer later discovers the issue was worse than you led the buyer to believe, intentionally or otherwise.
What if you fail to disclose something important?
If you fail to disclose a known material fact about your Oklahoma home, the buyer may have grounds to cancel the contract or sue you after the sale. In some cases, nondisclosure can be considered fraud under Oklahoma law, particularly if the omission appears intentional. Being upfront now helps prevent bigger headaches later.
When and how buyers review the disclosure
Under Oklahoma’s standard purchase contract, you’re expected to provide a completed Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement before the buyer’s offer is accepted.
