§  333-c.  Lands  in  agricultural  districts; disclosure. 1. When any
  purchase and sales contract is presented  for  the  sale,  purchase,  or
  exchange  of  real  property  located  partially  or  wholly  within  an
  agricultural district established pursuant to the provisions of  article
  twenty-five-AA  of  the  agriculture  and  markets  law, the prospective
  grantor shall present to the prospective  grantee  a  disclosure  notice
  which states the following:
    "It  is  the  policy  of  this  state  and this community to conserve,
  protect and encourage the development and  improvement  of  agricultural
  land  for  the  production of food, and other products, and also for its
  natural and ecological  value.  This  disclosure  notice  is  to  inform
  prospective  residents  that the property they are about to acquire lies
  partially or wholly within an agricultural  district  and  that  farming
  activities  occur  within  the  district.  Such  farming  activities may
  include, but not be limited to, activities that cause  noise,  dust  and
  odors.  Prospective  residents  are  also  informed that the location of
  property within an agricultural  district  may  impact  the  ability  to
  access  water  and/or  sewer  services  for  such property under certain
  circumstances.  Prospective purchasers are urged to contact the New York
  State  Department  of  Agriculture  and  Markets  to  obtain  additional
  information  or  clarification  regarding  their  rights and obligations
  under article 25-AA of the Agriculture and Markets Law."
    2. Such disclosure notice shall be signed by the  prospective  grantor
  and  grantee  prior  to  the  sale,  purchase  or  exchange of such real
  property.
    3. Failure of the seller to provide  such  information  to  the  buyer
  shall not prevent the recording officer from filing such deed.
