Houston First-time Home Buyer Step # 8: Post Closing
Congratulations, you are now officially a home owner and there’s a few things you will need to do.
First, you’ll want to change the locks on your new home. There’s no way to know how many keys may be floating around. Any local locksmith should be able to change your locks in a couple of hours.
Second, you’ll need to setup your mortgage payment. Typically, your first payment will be due the second month after you close. For example, if you close on June 15, your first payment will be due August 1. Your lender will mail you information about setting up a payment plan prior to your first payment.Third, you’ll need to file for your homestead exemption with your county. This exemption will reduce your home’s taxable value by around 20%. You can you go your county’s appraisal district website to download the form. You can only apply for this exemption after Jan. 1.Vincent Biondillo
