Where Can I find information about Real estate disclosures for flood zones ?

December 3rd, 2009 | by David Mueller |

I am buying a home and have signed the contracts only to find out that the home is in a HIGH risk flood zone. Neither the owner or the real state agent disclosed this information prior to the contracts. I only found out when the owner let it slip infront of her lawyer who then told my lawyer who then told me. Where can I find the Disclosure laws and penalties for not disclosing flood zones? Thanks!

Those laws typically vary from state to state. California’s law is here http://www.ceres.ca.gov/planning/nhd/showtell.html
