Oregon seller property disclosure

ORS 105.464, the five business day revocation right, and exactly what the 2025 amendment removed from the Oregon seller property disclosure form.

The revocation right

Where the seller has completed section 2 of the form, the buyer has five business days from the seller's delivery of the disclosure statement to revoke, by delivering a separate signed written statement of revocation.

Business days
From delivery, not from the offer.

Exclusions only
ORS 105.470 lists four categories, and two carry traps.

Damages actions
The statute creates no private damages remedy.

If the seller fails or refuses to provide a statement, the buyer has a right of revocation until closing.

The 2025 amendment

One line was deleted, and it was not the one most guides describe

SB 83 amended ORS 105.464 rather than repealing it. Exactly one item was deleted from section 9 of the form: Has the property been classified as wildland-urban interface?

That question was about WUI classification, not a wildfire hazard rating, and it predates the statewide map programme entirely. It was deleted outright and not replaced, so the form now contains no wildfire question of any kind.

There is no damages action under the disclosure statute

ORS 105.462 to 105.490 creates no private damages remedy for a false answer. ORS 105.490 preserves common law fraud and negligence claims instead, so a lied-to buyer sues in fraud, not under the disclosure law.

Two limits matter: the form is captioned NOT A WARRANTY, and answers are given on the basis of the seller's actual knowledge with no duty to investigate.

The exclusions carry two traps

  • The new-construction exclusion is conditional on giving the buyer a permit statement. A builder who omits it is not excluded.
  • The trustee exclusion requires the seller be court-appointed. An ordinary living-trust trustee selling a house is not excluded.

Statutory form
ORS 105.464 sets out the seller's property disclosure statement, which must be in substantially the form given in the statute. Where required under ORS 105.465, a seller delivers the disclosure statement to each buyer who makes a written offer to purchase real property in Oregon.ORS 105.465 governs when delivery is required and is a necessary companion citation. The spec names 105.462 through 105.490 as the range but singles out only 464 and 470.

Buyer revocation
Where the seller has completed section 2 of the form, the buyer has five business days from the seller's delivery of the disclosure statement to revoke their offer. Revocation is made by delivering a separate signed written statement of revocation to the seller, disapproving the seller's disclosure. The right may be waived by the buyer at or before entering into a sale agreement.Three details competitors routinely drop: the clock runs from delivery rather than from the offer, the revocation must be separate and in writing, and the right is waivable. Each is decision-relevant on a live transaction, and together they answer the Tier 4 query 'how long does the buyer have to revoke'.
