when you have time, if you dont already know, check to see if you are on the title ("deed") to the house. This will be on the county website. Also check to see if you are on the mortgage. This will he good information to have. (If you live on the east coast the wording may be different. or for example in Louisana it's not a county. but Google your county and with the words "property search". there are other ways if you aren't able to find this this way let me know). hope this helps. hang in there!
