Advisories & Disclosures

Pursuant to City of Brisbane municipal code 13.04.431, Public Works Director Randy Breault has provided a brochure for Realtors and Homeowners to understand the joint sewer lateral disclosure requirement:

The California Association of REALTORS (C.A.R.) has prepared a number of resources to provide you and your clients with information about wildfire-related Defensible Space and Home Hardening laws. Read more for Legal Q&A, Quick Guides and Slide Decks.

A disclosure for Sea Level Rise is now within the Statewide Buyer and Seller Advisory (SBSA). The revised SBSA will be released in June 2021. Smart Coast California worked for over a year with C.A.R. on language for this disclosure. Thank you to everyone who was instrumental in making this happen.

Per Millbrae Municipal Code section 8.20.450, prior to transfer of ownership (close of escrow), property owners must perform an in-line closed circuit video inspection of their existing sanitary sewer lateral from the building to the City main.

Effective May 8, 2015, the City of San Bruno will begin enforcement of a point-of-sale requirement for sewer lateral inspections.

Disclosures provide liability protection for REALTORS. The CFPB recently announced a $500,000 fine to a real estate firm for inadequate disclosure language in an affiliated business disclosure.
