A Connecticut buyer is under contract to purchase a commercial warehouse that was previously used for pesticide storage and distribution. The seller has not yet determined which Transfer Act form applies. The buyer's agent, Rachel, is concerned about closing delays. Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding the timing of Transfer Act compliance in Connecticut?

Correct Answer

B) Transfer Act compliance must be addressed before or at the time of transfer; the appropriate form must be filed as a condition of the transfer

Under the Connecticut Transfer Act, the required compliance form (Form I, II, or III, as applicable) must be filed before or at the time of the transfer of the establishment. The Act does not permit post-closing filing as a general rule — the form is a condition of the transfer itself. For a Form II (post-transfer remediation plan), the plan must be executed and in place at or before closing, even though the actual remediation will occur afterward.

Answer Options
A
Transfer Act forms must be filed with DEEP at least 90 days before the scheduled closing date
B
Transfer Act compliance must be addressed before or at the time of transfer; the appropriate form must be filed as a condition of the transfer
C
Transfer Act forms can be filed up to 180 days after closing, provided the buyer signs a waiver acknowledging the delay
D
Transfer Act compliance is only required if the buyer intends to continue using the property for commercial purposes
