Energy Useage Disclosure Required Beginning January 1, 2009 by Montgomery County, Maryland.

The County Council passed Bill 31-07 last April 2008. The substance of the Bill is to mandate that potential and ultimate buyers of residential real estate have access to the energy useage history of the property they are purchasing. There has been some confusion that the Bill was intended to require Home Energy Audits, but that is not the case.
