The Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement is required for which property type?

• A. five or more unit properties.
• B. single-family homes only.
• C. one-to-four unit properties.
• D. any property with hazards.

Answer: (C)

Natural hazards disclosures in California apply to transfers of residential real property that contains one to four dwelling units. The seller must provide this disclosure to the buyer in those transactions so the buyer is aware of potential hazard areas—such as flood zones, wildfire risk, earthquake fault zones, or landslide areas—based on applicable maps and data. This requirement covers single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings, but it does not apply to properties with five or more units. So the correct property type is one-to-four unit properties.
