• Vermont seller disclosure / supported exception. This private-owner Vermont resale workflow does not impose a universal seller condition form. Disclose known material defects truthfully, provide existing records and do not conceal defects. Buyer should investigate condition, permits, access, wastewater, potable water, land-use restrictions and title during the negotiated inspection period.
• Vermont applicable property-specific notices. For pre-1978 housing, provide Vermont-approved lead educational materials and known lead records in addition to the federal packet. Covered rental housing or child-care facilities also require current IRC compliance records and the Vermont Lead Law Disclosure and IRC Verification Form completed and sent to the Health Department before the purchase agreement is executed. Upload the applicable complete Vermont packet. Seller must satisfy applicable smoke/carbon-monoxide installation and transfer certification requirements by closing and resolve required fire-safety approvals; these later duties are not automatic pre-offer upload gates.
• Vermont association resale records / supported exception. For a covered common-interest resale, 27A V.S.A. 4-109 requires governing documents and a resale certificate. The association has ten days after request to supply the certificate. The purchaser may void the purchase contract until delivery and for five days thereafter. Applicable regime and transfer exceptions must be established, not inferred from zero dues or the physical property label. NavStreet collects the packet or documented scope/exception evidence before offers as an early-collection policy without reducing statutory rights.

Federal lead-based paint disclosure rules may apply to housing built before 1978. This information is educational, not legal advice; requirements vary by property and transaction.
