Regarding the Connecticut Transfer Act and its relationship to other Connecticut real estate disclosure requirements, which of the following statements is NOT accurate?

Correct Answer

C) A seller who files a Transfer Act Form III automatically satisfies all disclosure obligations under CGS § 20-327b for the same property

A Transfer Act Form III filing (negative declaration) does NOT automatically satisfy the seller's disclosure obligations under CGS § 20-327b (Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act). These are entirely separate statutes with different purposes, scopes, and requirements. A Form III addresses whether a property qualifies as a Transfer Act establishment based on historical commercial/industrial use. CGS § 20-327b requires disclosure of known defects and material conditions in residential property. Filing one does not satisfy the other — they operate independently.

Answer Options
A
The Connecticut Transfer Act and the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (CGS § 20-327b) are separate statutes with distinct and non-overlapping scopes of application
B
The Transfer Act applies to commercial and industrial establishments, while CGS § 20-327b applies to residential property transfers
C
A seller who files a Transfer Act Form III automatically satisfies all disclosure obligations under CGS § 20-327b for the same property
D
Compliance with the Transfer Act does not eliminate a licensee's duty to disclose known material facts about environmental conditions to prospective buyers
