I have to give a tip of the hat to Jamie Smith Hopkins, the Sun's Real Estate Wonk, for her comprehensive list of things to think about if you've just bought a home around here. Wish I'd had this when I bought my first home, lo those many years ago.
Things like, oh, license your pets, register to vote, and one I'm sure you've thought of already: "apply for the Homestead Tax Credit, which puts a ceiling on property tax increases once you've been in the property a full fiscal year (meaning July 1 through June 30). If you bought your home this year, you have 180 days to apply."
This came out a couple of weeks ago, and if I hadn't had PC tech issues I would have posted it sooner.
Read it all here.
