FAQ
In most cases, you'll meet with your real estate agent and a title company representative — the seller and their agent don't have to be there. The title company representative will guide you through the process and ensure that all the necessary documents are signed correctly — they take care of the filing.
Typically, the seller signs the closing documents first, before the buyer even arrives at the office where the closing is taking place. Buyers have to sign a LOT more documents than the seller and it is not necessary for the seller to sit and watch the buyer sign their papers.
In Texas, the exact amount owed in taxes on a property is unknown until the home is appraised again and taxes become due in October. Therefore, when closing is completed before taxes are due, an estimate is used to determine the prorated amounts owed by each party.
What is the most important document at closing and why? The deed is the most important document because it transfers the property to the purchaser.
To put it in simple terms, the seller will be responsible for the property tax balance that accrued from the beginning of the tax year until the date of closing, and the buyer will be responsible for property taxes that are due for the period after the closing date. This is a process called proration.
Successfully protesting your home's assessed value will lower property tax bills. It also can secure long-lasting savings because the DCAD cannot ignore the lower value when assessing your home in future years. You can also protest that DCAD improperly denied any qualified exemptions.
Collect evidence such as comparable sales data, photos of property damage or needed repairs, and estimates from contractors. If you bought or refinanced your home recently, that paperwork can also be powerful evidence of actual market value. Appraisal district employees often understand the process isn't perfect.
