Georgia law under O.C.G.A. §44-1-16 requires sellers to disclose known material defects that affect the value of the property. Georgia does not mandate use of a single statewide form for all residential sales. The Georgia Association of REALTORS® (GAR) Seller's Property Disclosure Statement is the widely used industry standard form. This template follows that standard and incorporates all key disclosure areas required or recommended under Georgia law and federal requirements.

Sellers must disclose facts known to them that materially affect the value of the property and are not readily observable by the buyer. Failure to disclose known material defects, or active concealment, may constitute fraudulent concealment giving rise to claims for rescission and damages. This statement is made to the best of Seller's actual knowledge as of the date signed. It is not a warranty or guarantee of condition.

All variable user-supplied information appears as [[Token Name]] placeholders. Fixed legal requirements are stated in full., -
