About

The State of Nevada has imposed an additional paperwork burden on all home sellers, effective January 1, 2001.  The regulation, issued by the Nevada Energy Commissioner is intended to evaluate the energy consumption of residential property.
A four page form gathers information about energy consumption of the home, type of construction, and energy Star ratings of appliances, among other things.  I suspect it won’t take nearly as long as filling out a form 1040, but a revised version may be on the way.  The form must be filled out by the seller, or a “certified” home energy inspector and provided to the buyer.  The form may be waived if agreed by both the seller and the buyer, but the waiver is on page 4 of the form.
