A Colorado listing broker is completing the CREC-approved Seller's Property Disclosure form with a seller in Jefferson County. The seller has lived on the property for 15 years and has direct knowledge of several environmental conditions. Which of the following is NOT required to be disclosed on the Seller's Property Disclosure form under Colorado law?
Correct Answer
C) The general proximity of the property to a public highway within the same county
The general proximity of a property to a public highway is not a material defect or environmental condition that must be disclosed on the CREC-approved Seller's Property Disclosure form. Proximity to public roads is a matter of public record, observable on inspection, and does not constitute a hidden or known defect under C.R.S. § 38-35.7-101 et seq. The disclosure form targets material defects and environmental hazards known to the seller — not general geographic or neighborhood characteristics.
