Requirements For Selling Your Home

The Virginia Property Owners Association Act (in Code of Virginia) requires you to provide a resale certificate to your purchaser:

§ 55.1-2308. Contract for resale; disclosures.

Unless exempt pursuant to § 55.1-2317, any contract for the resale of a unit in a common interest community shall disclose (i) that the unit is located in a common interest community; (ii) that the seller is required to obtain from the association a resale certificate and provide it to the purchaser; (iii) the purchaser's right to cancel the contract pursuant to § 55.1-2312; (iv) that the purchaser may request an updated resale certificate pursuant to § 55.1-2311; and (v) that the purchaser's right to receive the resale certificate and the right to cancel the contract are waived conclusively if not exercised before settlement. If the contract does not contain the disclosures required by this section, the purchaser's sole remedy is to cancel the contract prior to settlement.

§ 55.1-2309. Resale certificate; delivery.

A. The seller shall be required to obtain the resale certificate from the association and provide such resale certificate to the purchaser.

B. Unless exempt pursuant to § 55.1-2317, the association, the association's managing agent, or any third party preparing the resale certificate on behalf of the association shall deliver such resale certificate within 14 days after a written request by a seller or seller's agent.

C. The association, association's managing agent, or any third party preparing the resale certificate on behalf of the association shall deliver the resale certificate to the seller, or to such person as the seller may direct, either printed or in a generally accepted electronic format as the seller may request.

D. The information contained in the resale certificate shall be current as of a date specified on the resale certificate. The seller or purchaser may request an updated resale certificate as provided in § 55.1-2311.
