Sellers of real property in California are required to notify buyers about the existence of the Megan's Law database and a 900 phone number known as the Sex Offender Identification Line that lists convicted sex offenders living in the area.

Megan's Law is named after seven -year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped and killed by a known child molester who had moved across the street from the Kanka family without their knowledge. In the wake of the tragedy, the Kankas sought to have local communities in every state warned about sex offenders in the area.

Notice: Pursuant to Section 290.46 of the Penal Code, information about specified registered sex offenders is made available to the public via an Internet Web site maintained by the Department of Justice at www.meganslaw.ca.gov Depending on an offender's criminal history, this information will include either the address at which the offender resides or the community of residence and ZIP Code in which he or she resides.

Additional Information: Megan's Law does not require that the seller or seller's agent investigate or review the data base. However, this notices does not exempt a seller or seller's agent from complying with Califorina Civil Code Sections 1102 and 2079 which require disclosure of any fact materially affecting the value and desirability of the Property.
