Many sellers want to make sure they have paid their property taxes in the current calendar year so they can claim this benefit when filing their Income Taxes for the same year. Your League City Real Estate Experts have the answers!  Call The Brian Worrell Team if you need any clarification, 281-948-7042.

There are a few options for paying property taxes:
There are a few options for paying property taxes...  This example is based on assuming a scheduled closing date of 12/30/2011.

Option 1.  Pay each of these yourself with CASHIER'S CHECKS to each tax entity in at each of their offices respectively in person.  Get a copy of each cashier's check. And get a copy of the paid receipt.  This would ensure all taxes are paid in 2011.

Option 2.  Do not pay anything now.  If on the 30th, it looks like we are not closing on time, then pay the taxes online yourself.  The title company will need to retain the total amount of taxes from your proceeds until they can verify through each tax entity that they have been fully paid.  They they will send you that money once verified which may take several weeks.  This would ensure all taxes are paid in 2011.

Option 3.  Taxes will be paid at closing on the 30th from your proceeds.  If the closing is delayed for whatever reason, taxes would be paid in 2012 from your proceeds.  The Income Tax benefit of paying for 2011 property taxes would have to be claimed at the end of 2012 with this option.

New Medical Clinic Breaks Ground in Downtown Friendswood, Texas

 

Friendswood Family Chiropractic Clinic and Spuhler Medical Associates began construction on their new 10,250 square foot building at 1111 S. Friendswood Drive and the corner of Whispering Pines. Earlier this year, City Council approved a $15,000 municipal grant for the construction of this $1.3 million medical clinic. In addition, approximately $14,700 of City-related development fees will be waived since the project is located in the City's Downtown Neighborhood Empowerment Zone.

The Downtown area of Friendswood, Texas has sure seen some very significant growth in that past 1-2 years.  This should be another great addition!

Great advice from Platinum Pools!

Freeze Warning Tonight:
DON'T WRAP YOUR PIPES   

1. Have Freeze Protect?

Pool owners with freeze protect: Your equipment should turn on automatically and may cycle on and off throughout the day. This is normal. 

 

2. Don't have Freeze Protect?

Run your pool equipment during the freeze. Change your timers to run the pool equipment at night, and keep the equipment running if freezing temperatures continue into the day.

 

DO NOT WRAP YOUR PIPES: The pool pump will get hot and will catch the blankets or whatever you use to wrap on fire.

Right now, The Brian Worrell Team is conducting 3 Open Houses at the same time.  We prefer not to comment on where we stand politically on the matter of human cloning.  I do feel sorry for agents that can't be in 3 places at the same time.  The Brian Worrell Team does just that.

This has been a great weekend for buyers to get out and look at open houses.  If you are interested in stopping by to see one of our homes, or just want to say hi, you can find me at 210 Sutherland in Westover Park, 3137 Indian Summer in Autumn Creek, and also I'm at 1808 Claiborne in Clear Creek Village.
