Nebraska Seller Disclosure | § 76-2,120

Key Information

Nebraska requires residential sellers to provide a written disclosure under Nebraska Revised Statutes § 76-2,120 (Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement). It covers structural systems, mechanical systems, environmental hazards, and water and sewage.

Pricing: Starting $99/month

Time Required: Listing documentation package in one workflow

The Problem

Nebraska's Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-2,120 mandates a specific property condition disclosure with categories that listing agents and sellers commonly underestimate. Missing or incomplete disclosures on water, septic, environmental hazards, or known structural defects are among the most common sources of post-closing claims in Nebraska.

The Solution

BuildMyListing prepares the listing documentation layer for Nebraska transactions — Fair Housing-scanned MLS copy, AB 723-style photo alteration tracking, and a compliance summary that documents the disclosure conversation. Use alongside the state-prescribed Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-2,120 form.

Key Features

Disclosure Category Coverage

BuildMyListing prompts capture the disclosure categories Nebraska sellers typically need to address: structural and roof condition, plumbing, electrical, and hvac systems, water source (municipal or well), and other material conditions.

Benefit: Complete documentation before listing day

Lead-Based Paint Federal Addendum

For Nebraska homes built before 1978, the federal EPA/HUD lead paint disclosure (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) is required in addition to any state disclosure. BuildMyListing flags pre-1978 properties and includes the lead paint checklist in the documentation package.

Benefit: Never miss the federal overlay on older homes

Fair Housing Listing Copy

Generated MLS descriptions, headlines, and social captions are scanned against the seven federal Fair Housing Act protected classes (42 U.S.C. § 3604) plus any state-level additions before content is shown to the agent.

Benefit: Reduce Fair Housing complaint exposure on Nebraska listings

MLS-Ready Listing Package

Generate enhanced photos, MLS descriptions, and marketing flyers in the same workflow — not a separate system. AB 723-style photo alteration tracking is built in even for non-California listings, creating a defensible audit trail for any AI-altered photo.

Common Use Cases

Nebraska Resale with Pre-1978 Construction

Process: BuildMyListing flags pre-1978 construction → Includes the federal lead paint addendum reminder in the package → Documents the disclosure conversation → Generates a compliance summary

Compliance: Federal 42 U.S.C. § 4852d documented alongside Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-2,120 categories

Nebraska Listing with AI-Enhanced Photos

Process: Upload originals → Enhance and stage → BuildMyListing logs every alteration → Public disclosure page and QR code generated → Agent can elect to attach to the listing for transparency

Compliance: Defensible audit trail of every AI alteration, available for the broker file regardless of whether the state mandates it

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nebraska Revised Statutes § 76-2,120 (Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement) and who must comply?

Nebraska Revised Statutes § 76-2,120 (Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement) requires sellers of residential real property in Nebraska to provide a written property condition disclosure to buyers, typically before the purchase agreement is signed. The state-prescribed form covers structural systems, mechanical systems, environmental hazards, water and sewage, and other material conditions of the property.

What happens if a Nebraska seller fails to deliver the disclosure?

Nebraska Revised Statutes § 76-2,120 requires delivery to the buyer before execution of the purchase agreement. Late delivery gives the buyer the right to terminate.

What categories must Nebraska sellers disclose?

Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-2,120, sellers typically must disclose: Structural and roof condition; Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems; Water source (municipal or well); Septic system and sewage; Known environmental hazards and pest infestations. Sellers must disclose known conditions even if repairs have been made. The standard form (Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement (statutory form)) is the practical mechanism for capturing each category.

Does the federal lead-based paint requirement apply to Nebraska homes?

Yes. The federal EPA/HUD Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) applies to any sale of residential housing built before 1978 in all 50 states, including Nebraska. Sellers must provide the EPA pamphlet 'Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home,' complete a lead-based paint disclosure form, and give buyers a 10-day inspection opportunity. This applies in addition to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-2,120.

Does Nebraska have a photo alteration disclosure law like California AB 723?

As of early 2026, California is the only state with a statutory AI photo alteration disclosure regime (California Business and Professions Code § 10140.8 (AB 723, takes effect January 1, 2026)). Nebraska does not have an AB 723 equivalent. However, the federal FTC's general prohibition on deceptive advertising and applicable local MLS rules may still require disclosure of substantially altered listing photos. BuildMyListing applies AB 723-style tracking by default so the audit trail exists if needed.

What Fair Housing protected classes apply to Nebraska listing descriptions?

The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) protects seven classes nationwide: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Nebraska may add state-level protected classes under its own civil rights statutes. Listing descriptions in Nebraska must avoid language that expresses a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on any protected characteristic.

Are there exemptions from the Nebraska disclosure requirement?

Most state property condition disclosure statutes — including Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-2,120 — exempt sales by court order, foreclosure sales, sales between family members, sales by an estate or trust, and certain new construction sales (which are governed by other disclosures). The exemptions are narrow, and most standard resales between unrelated parties require the full disclosure. Consult a licensed Nebraska real estate attorney for transaction-specific exemption questions.

Does BuildMyListing provide legal advice on Nebraska disclosures?

No. BuildMyListing is a compliance documentation tool that creates an audit trail of photo alterations and a written record of the disclosure conversation. It does not replace the state-prescribed Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement (statutory form), and it does not provide legal advice. Consult a licensed Nebraska real estate attorney for questions about your specific disclosure obligations.
