This only applies if this is your primary residence and will significantly decrease your property taxes.

If you are purchasing new construction, wait until the end of the year to apply. This way your taxes may be assessed as a lot and will be lower.

If you are not purchasing new construction, you may do this as soon as you receive a copy of your recorded cash sale.
