ALERT: Montgomery County Radon Testing Applies to Settlements On or After October 1

The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (MCDEP) is issuing guidance on the new Radon Testing Requirement Law.  

According to MCDEP, the law applies to settlements on or after October 1, 2016.  In other words – if you have a single-family home transaction settling on or after October 1, 2016 – there MUST be a radon test with the results disclosed to both seller and buyer (certain exemptions exist).

You will also see that radon tests readily available at major retailers have been added to the list of approved devices.

If you have any other questions, please forward them to GCAAR’s Legislative Counsel Katalin Peter at kpeter@gcaar.com, call DEP directly at 240-777-0311, or ask your settlement attorney.
