In practice, yes. Rules differ by province, state and MLS® board, but they agree on the basics: an altered photo must be disclosed and must not misrepresent the property.
- California's AB 723 requires a disclosure and a link to the original.
- In BC, misleading ads are prohibited, and BCFSA advises labelling altered photos.
- The NAR Code of Ethics requires a true picture in advertising.
- Many MLS® boards have their own labelling rules, and some have a label field or photo order rules.
Trulisted labels every altered photo and publishes the originals, wherever you list. Still check your own board's rules and your brokerage's policies. This is a summary, not legal advice.
