✓ NEW HOMEOWNER CHECKLIST

Personal Accounts

  • Update address with the post office

  • Ensure all old utilities are canceled and new utilities are in your name (includes water, gas, electric, garbage, and sewer)

  • Cancel old and set up new internet - take advantage of the new address to capitalize on potential promotional prices for new accounts

  • Contact DMV to ensure they have your new address (changing counties will require additional updates) - ask also if this automatically updates your voter registration information.

  • Review your bank statements - ensure all previous bill-by-mail accounts are updated to reflect your new address

  • Update your address with everywhere you give charitably; this will save them money on returned mail.

Home

  • Change the exterior locks and make duplicate keys.

  • Check to ensure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

  • Ensure gutters are cleaned out and rain spouts are properly directed.

  • Clean out cupboards and cabinets before filling them with your belongings.

  • Vacuum rooms or consider getting carpets professionally cleaned before furniture is in place.

  • Get all air ducts cleaned and hardwood floors refinished, if necessary.

  • Review your inspection report for any updates or repairs that were recommended.

  • Check with Auto and Home Owner Insurance provider to see if there are changes in policy amount. Different counties have different amounts due.
