Explanation
Florida's radon disclosure law (F.S. 404.056(5)) requires disclosure of the nature and potential health risks of radon and that testing is recommended. The seller is NOT required to test — only to provide the standard notification statement about radon. The Florida disclosure statement informs buyers about radon's health risks and recommends they conduct testing if concerned.
