You can know your house has lead paint by learning how to identify it and where you might find it.

One way to tell is by knowing if your house was constructed before 1978, as most homes built before that year contain lead paint. Another way to examine if you are dealing with lead-based paint is to see if the sub-layers of paint are still present on the surface. A third way you could confirm that your home has lead paint is by using a lead paint test kit.
