How do I obtain information on Radon Gas levels in Maryland?
Although the State of Maryland does not require radon testing of homes before they are sold, the Seller Property Condition form specifically identifies radon gas as one of the material facts which must be disclosed by the seller. If you are in any area of the state (such as Harford County) that is known for high EPA risk levels of radon gas, you need to identify this potential environmental risk factor in the appraisal. Average radon levels are generally tracked by Zip code. To obtain what information may be available for your Subject area, contact the National Safety Council Radon Helpline at 1-800-557-2366 or check with Environmental Services in your local Health Department. Some Counties have produced GIS maps depicting this information.
