Who Must Comply
Austin’s Energy Conservation Audit & Disclosure ordinance (ECAD) applies to the sale of single family, multifamily and commercial properties. Single family properties that meet the following criteria must be audited before time of sale:
- The building was constructed more than ten years before time of sale
- The building receives electricity from Austin Electric Utility
- The property is within Austin city limits
The ECAD ordinance defines a single-family home as a building comprising fewer than five dwelling units.
Qualifying properties will be required to provide an energy audit to potential buyers. All properties that do not fall under the above criteria, such as PEC customers and newer homes, do not have to conduct an energy audit.
