The Property Well Bill
Changing the rules and fees for property well disclosures
Well disclosure certificates modified, fee established, and money appropriated.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would change the paperwork for reporting a water well when you sell property and add a new fee to pay for state programs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Right now, the details on this bill are very thin. We know it plans to change the rules for well disclosure certificates, which tell a homebuyer if there is a water well on the property. It also adds a new fee. While knowing about a well protects buyers, adding a fee means sellers will have to pay a little more. Because it has support from both Democrats and Republicans, it is likely a basic cleanup bill, but we need to watch how high that fee goes.
