As a homeowner, learn the budget process, learn about re-evaluation, and
go to the town meetings and voice your opinion. Only educated taxpayers
can control the local politicians.


I forgot to mention, learn about co-insurance. That is important if you
ever think about reducing the amount of insurance you have just to reduce
the premiums. If you house is worth $180,000, you may figure it will not be
totally destroyed so you only want $90,000 worth of insurance. Then you
have a claim for say, $20,000. Since you elected to have only half the
house insured, they will only pay half and you get to pay the other $10,000.



If he has a mortgage, the bank may consider it quite differently.
