Requirements for Selling Your Home in Austin

One of the requirements for selling your home in Austin is meeting the changes to the Austin Energy Conservation and Disclosure (ECAD) Ordinance.

The Austin City Council approved code amendments to the ECDA effective May 2, 2011.

1. The energy audit disclosure for sellers of single-family homes 10 years old or older is now required to be provided to the buyer three days prior to the expiration of the option period.

2. Owners of four or fewer condominiums must meet the requirements for single-family homes, and those owning five or more units at one location must meet the requirement for multifamily properties.

3. Commercial property owners now have more time to calculate an energy rating on their facilities. Additional amendments relate to multifamily properties with an energy usage per square foot exceeding 150 percent of the average for similar apartment communities.

The original ECAD ordinance took effect June 1, 2009, for residential homeowners within the Austin city limits who obtain power from Austin Energy.
