Resale Certificate Request

What is a Resale Certificate?

Under Texas Property Code Chapter 207, a Resale Certificate discloses critical information about a property owner’s association and a specific property within its boundaries. Prepared by the Homeowners Association, this document may include:

  1. Any outstanding debt owed to the Association
  2. Any pending lawsuits involving the Association
  3. Any known violations of deed restrictions
  4. Whether the property is subject to foreclosure
  5. The Association’s budget and expenditures
  6. Governing documents, such as bylaws and restrictions

A Resale Certificate is typically required during the sale or transfer of property and ensures that buyers are fully informed before closing.
