What Nebraska Requires in a Purchase Contract
These are the contract and disclosure requirements our research identified for Nebraska residential transactions, with statute citations. Requirements change; always confirm the current rule before closing.
Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement
Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-2,120
Seller must complete a written property condition disclosure statement on the form prescribed by the Nebraska Real Estate Commission (by rule/regulation) covering systems, appliances, hazardous conditions, title matters, and CO alarm compliance, delivered to the purchaser on or before the effective date of any contract that binds the purchaser to purchase, with the purchaser's written acknowledgment of receipt
Applies to: residential real property sales; exempt: court-ordered, foreclosure/trustee and mortgagee-owned sales, fiduciary transfers, transfers between co-owners and close family, government transfers, and never-occupied new construction
Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Verbatim language required
42 U.S.C. 4852d; 40 CFR 745.113(a) (Subpart F)
For pre-1978 housing the sales contract must contain the verbatim Lead Warning Statement, seller's disclosure of known lead-based paint/hazards, list of available records provided, buyer acknowledgment plus 10-day inspection opportunity (or waiver), and dated signatures of sellers, buyers, and agents
Applies to: pre-1978 target housing
Nebraska Regulates Wholesaling
Neb. Rev. Stat. 81-885.02 (as amended by LB 892, 2022); NREC policy interpretations
Publicly marketing for sale an equitable interest in a contract for the purchase of real property (other than a vacant lot) between an owner and prospective purchaser is licensed brokerage activity; unlicensed wholesaling (assignments and double closes marketed publicly) is prohibited, with NREC fines up to $1,000 per day or the amount earned, whichever is greater; an equitable interest is not an ownership interest for the owner exemption
