Point Of Sale Program   
The City requires that a Truth-in-Sale-of-Housing disclosure report be prepared and available to all potential buyers for one and two-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops whenever there is an intended change of ownership. The report must be completed within 3 calendar days of entering into a listing agreement to sell the dwelling, advertising the sale of the dwelling, posting a sign that the dwelling is for sale, or any action where the logical result of that action will be the sale or change of ownership of the property. The report must be prominently displayed on the premises, and a valid report must be provided to the buyer before or at the time of sale. Reports must only be prepared by independant evaluators who are certified as Truth-in-Sale of Housing evaluators under City ordinance. For more information, visit the city's Truth-in-Sale Housing Website.
