Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from high-voltage power lines are relevant to Arizona real estate disclosure because:

AArizona law requires sellers to obtain a licensed inspector's EMF reading and disclose it in writing if the property is within 500 feet of a high-voltage transmission line
BSome buyers consider proximity to power lines a concern affecting desirability, and sellers should disclose proximity to high-voltage linesCorrect
CThe Arizona Superior Court has ruled that proximity to power lines is a latent material defect requiring mandatory disclosure on the SPDS under penalty of rescission
DFederal EPA standards classify proximity to high-voltage lines as a reportable environmental condition requiring disclosure on a separate Arizona EMF addendum

Why Some buyers consider proximity to power lines a concern affecting desirability, and sellers should disclose proximity to high-voltage lines Is Correct

Answer B: Some buyers consider proximity to power lines a concern affecting desirability, and sellers should disclose proximity to high-voltage lines

While scientific evidence on health effects of EMFs is inconclusive, proximity to high-voltage power lines is a concern for many buyers that may affect desirability and value. Sellers should disclose proximity to transmission lines.

Exam Tip: Environmental

Environmental questions test knowledge of hazards like asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold. Know the disclosure requirements and when a professional inspection is required. CERCLA liability is strict, joint, and several.
