Residential Energy Disclosure

July 30, 2020

Summary

A residential property owner is required to disclose electricity costs for the most recent three-month period in which the property was occupied as a condition of selling it. No proof or copies of the electricity bills are required, but sellers must make a "good faith declaration."  Energy legislation (HB1464) added this requirement to Hawaii's existing Mandatory Seller Disclosures in Real Estate Transactions law in 2009.
