North Dakota · Century CodeNorth Dakota real estate closing laws: a checklist for transaction coordinators

North Dakota's rules for a home sale, in the order a transaction meets them: before final acceptance of a purchase agreement for a home of up to four units, the seller discloses in writing the material facts it knows that could adversely and significantly affect an ordinary buyer – on the Real Estate Commission's form when a licensee is involved – and separately discloses known radon information with the statutory statement for the buyer to sign (N.D. Cent. Code §§47-10-02.1, 47-10-02.2). In an HOA or condominium, the seller gives the buyer the association package by the agreed date or within 10 days after the purchase agreement, and the buyer may void the contract until it's provided and for five days after (§47-10-02.3). For rentals, the deposits and accrued interest are transferred to the buyer, and the seller stays liable until they are (§47-16-07.1(5)).
