The purchase of a property in Chesterfield, Missouri requires that a Chesterfield noise disclosure be signed along with the other contract documents. The Chesterfield disclosure notifies a prospective buyer that City Council has adopted an ordinance that requires disclosure of future land use and noise impact regulations. Specifically, it mentions noise impact from the local Spirit of St. Louis airport. This airport is the 3rd busiest in the state after the St. Louis and Kansas City airports.
This disclosure notifies all prospective buyers and tenants that there could be an impact from airport noise on their purchase or lease. This disclosure came about years ago after a nearby subdivision tried to sue the airport that had been there for years regarding the noise impact on their homes that had recently been built nearby. Sounds crazy, but it is true. Now, homeowners cannot claim that they didn’t know that airport noise might affect their new home.
It seems like contract packets just keep getting bigger and bigger, especially when documents like this have to be included. We are not saying that the disclosure is not a good idea, it just seems like the number of documents making up a contract packet keep increasing. So if you buy or lease a home in Chesterfield, MO, just be prepared to sign the special disclosure from the city of Chesterfield.
