LD 413 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act Regarding Disclosure By Sellers Of Residential Real Property Of Notices Of Shoreland Zoning Ordinance Violations

LD 413 requires sellers of residential property near shorelands to disclose actual violations of shoreland zoning ordinances to buyers, but removes the requirement to disclose alleged violations. This change directly affects home sellers and buyers in properties governed by shoreland zoning rules. The bill amends Maine law to narrow the disclosure obligation to only confirmed violations, not pending or disputed cases. It does not alter other disclosure requirements or create new regulations.
