Does a home seller have to disclose the property’s condition in New Mexico?

In New Mexico, there is no general condition statement, but before accepting an offer to buy a home the seller or the seller’s broker must request the county assessor’s estimated property tax levy at the listed price and give the buyer a written copy, and a seller of a lot in a homeowner association must give the buyer the association’s disclosure certificate, which under the Homeowner Association Act must arrive at least seven days before closing and lets the buyer cancel within seven days of receiving it. The buyer must acknowledge receipt of the property tax estimate in writing, and may waive it in a signed writing before making the offer if the estimate is not readily available. Before closing, the lot owner must also give the purchaser copies of the association’s declaration, bylaws, rules and any covenants, conditions and restrictions on the lot. New Mexico law says a seller has no duty to disclose that the property was the site of a natural death or of a homicide, suicide, assault, sexual assault or other felony. Federal law separately requires a lead-based paint disclosure when selling most homes built before 1978. This is N.M. Stat. §§ 47-13-2, 47-13-4, 47-16-11, 47-16-12.
