Before You Sign
Utilities to confirm
No central list covers this small a city, so ask about water, sewer, and power provider by provider for each specific property rather than assuming from the address in the listing.
When it's time to set up accounts, the Utility Setup guide gathers utility and county office links in one place.
Parcels outside city limits deserve the longer checklist in the Rural Property Guide: wells, septic systems, water rights, road care, and fire coverage.
