Paperwork
- Store your closing package and deed somewhere safe and digital
- Watch for your recorded deed from the county Register of Deeds
- Note the property tax calendar: North Carolina tax bills are typically mailed in summer and due by early January
Maintenance to schedule
- Change the locks and HVAC filters
- Clean gutters, especially under large hardwoods, in late fall
- Have the HVAC system serviced before summer
- Check the crawlspace after the first heavy rain
