What to do first

Start with

  1. Register with your municipality if required and set up regular property inspections.

  2. Assume your existing homeowner insurance covers a vacant home — most policies exclude them after 30-60 days.
  3. Ignore municipal registration requirements — fines can accumulate rapidly.
