Selling a Home with a Woodstove? Here’s What You Need to Know

If a property contains an Uncertified Woodstove/Wood-Burning fireplace insert, Oregon law generally requires the device to be removed and properly disposed of when the property is sold. If the buyer is accepting that responsibility, using line 30 in OREF – 046 Woodstove/Wood-Burning Fireplace Insert Addendum, the buyer MUST follow the guidelines to have the stove removed and destroyed within 30 days of closing.

All comments and responses from OREF or its staff, managers, and volunteers are non-legal opinions made for general purposes. Each Forms subscriber must rely solely upon their Principal broker or personal legal counsel for specific advice and instruction. You and your client should independently confirm that the Form(s) you use are legally suitable for the purposes intended and that they are current with respect to all laws and regulations.
