Many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint. Lead from paint chips and dust can pose serious health hazards.
Sellers must disclose known information on lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards before selling a house.
Real estate sales contracts must include a specific warning statement about lead-based paint. Buyers have up to 10 days to check for lead.

Are you at risk of lead-based paint hazards in your home?

Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.
