SB171 requires sellers to answer additional questions about whether a property has historical significance or is listed on any historical registers as part of the standard property disclosure form they give to buyers. This change adds transparency to real estate transactions by ensuring potential buyers know if a property has special historical status that might affect its value, restrictions, or maintenance requirements.
