Notes
- Before exemptions. If you live in the home, file for the homestead exemption and the bill goes down.
- If the home was not finished on January 1, the first bill may cover only the land.
- The MUD, the PID and the HOA vary by section and by lot: ask for the figures for the lot you like.
- Ask for the MUD or PID notice before you sign.

What are MUD, PID, WCAD and HOA?

Before you visit the model home

The model-home salesperson works for the builder. These questions look after your side; get the answers in writing.

What is your rule for working with my agent?
Many builders ask that your agent come with you or register you on the first visit. Ask their rule before you leave your details.
Can the PID be paid off at once?
Some PIDs let you pay the balance and stop the yearly charge. Ask the balance and how many years are left.
What does the incentive ask in return?
Many incentives depend on using the builder's lender. You can choose the title company. Compare before you accept.

What is the MUD or PID for this lot?
It varies by section and by lot. Ask for the figure for the lot you like, not the community's.
What will my tax bill be in the second year?
If the home wasn't finished on January 1, the first bill may cover only the land. The full bill comes later.
What is the HOA, what does it include and what's due at purchase?
Besides the dues, many charge a transfer or capital fee at closing.
Can I bring my own inspector?
Yes: before drywall and before you get the keys. When they can come in is set by your contract with the builder.
What does the warranty cover, and for how long?
Many builders give 1 year on workmanship, 2 on systems and 10 on structure. Get it in writing.

A new-home contract is usually the builder's own, not the standard TREC form. Read it with your agent before you sign.
