Utilities & DMV setup checklist

• Set up electric, water/sewer, trash, internet, and gas (if needed).
•Transfer your driver’s license within 30 days.
• Register your vehicle and update auto insurance.
• Homeowners: apply for the Homestead Exemption to lower property taxes.
3 ways to shortlist neighborhoods
 
1. Commute: Test drive times during peak traffic.
2. Schools: School zones impact resale value—even without kids.
3. Vibe: Beach, suburban, or urban—HOAs and amenities vary widely.

timelines & gotchas
 
• Rent first if you’re new to the area or unsure of neighborhoods.
• Buy now if you’re confident in location and long-term plans.
• Watch for insurance costs, flood zones, and new construction delays.
