Charges for Documents Form (Section 4525 disclosures)
Prescribes the form used to disclose the charges for the documents required to be provided under §4525. Section was substantially restructured by SB 410 (Stats. 2025, Ch. 516, Sec. 2; effective January 1, 2026), changing from the pre-2026 "Common Interest Development General Information" form to the "Charges for Documents Provided as Required by Section 4525" billing form. The form authoritatively maps each disclosable document back to its source statute (e.g., budget report → §§5300 and 4525(a)(3); insurance summary → §§5300 and 4525(a)(3); enforcement policy → §§5310 and 4525(a)(4)).

| Section 4528 establishes the form an association must use to bill the seller for §4530 disclosure charges. The form must be in at least 10-point type and follow the statutory template substantially. | |
| The form provides the authoritative cross-reference: each disclosure item lists both its §4525 enumerated subsection AND the underlying source statute. This is how multi-statute disclosure obligations under Davis-Stirling are made explicit and itemized for billing. | |
| If the seller already has current copies of §4525 documents, they may provide them at no cost. Sellers can also purchase some but not all of the documents listed. The form covers only §4525-related fees — other escrow-related fees are charged separately, not bundled with §4525 disclosure charges. |
