Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act: A federal law, enacted in 1968, that regulates interstate land sales by requiring registration of real property with the Office of Interstate Land Sales Registration (OILSR) of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The main purpose of the act is to require disclosure of full and accurate information regarding the property to prospective buyers before they decide to buy. To comply with the act, the developer must prepare a statement of record and register the subdivision with HUD. After the registration is effective, the developer must deliver to the purchaser (and obtain a receipt for) the property report before execution of the purchase agreement. The developer must give prospective buyers a cooling-off period of seven calendar days to consider the material contained in the property report. Many large subdivisions are registered with HUD because HUD regulations apply if the developer uses the mails or any other means of interstate commerce in the sale of lots.
