HB 4917 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to seller's disclosures regarding flooding and other water-related issues with respect to residential real property.

HB 4917 requires sellers of residential properties in Texas to provide a standardized disclosure notice about flooding and water-related issues. The bill mandates that sellers must check "Yes," "No," or "Unknown" regarding whether the property has been affected by flooding or water problems, as part of a required written notice. This directly affects residential property sellers and buyers during real estate transactions. The notice clarifies it is not a warranty but a disclosure of the seller’s knowledge as of the signing date. The bill focuses on transparency about flood risks, not new flood mapping or insurance requirements.
