A Texas freeze can turn a burst pipe or dead heater into a repair bill worth thousands, and major damage can climb into five figures 😳 A few quick checks now may save you a costly surprise later!

Before the first freeze:
1️⃣ Insulate exposed pipes; drip faucets during hard freezes
2️⃣ Tune up your heating system & HVAC
3️⃣ Clear gutters and check the roof
4️⃣ Seal drafts around doors and windows

Texas homeowners insurance premiums are up 79% in six years. Property tax bills are landing in DFW mailboxes. And the Texas school homestead exemption is now $140,000. Are you claiming every dollar of relief you may be owed? 👀

Before October gets away, check these 3 things:

🏡 Homestead exemption
The $140,000 school exemption only helps if you filed for it. Check your county appraisal district records to confirm it is applied to your home.

🛡️ Roof insurance discounts
Texas recently issued new insurance rules that include premium discounts for certain loss-mitigation features, including impact-resistant or FORTIFIED roofs. Ask your insurer whether your roof qualifies and what documentation they need.

💵 Escrow payment
Review your mortgage statement and escrow analysis. Changes in property taxes or insurance can affect your monthly payment, so make sure you understand what changed.

Dallas County also raised its tax rate, making it even more important to review your bill carefully. These small checks could help you avoid paying more than necessary. 🙏
