NEWCOMERS
 Relocating to a new area can cause both excitement and anxiety at the same time. We often take for granted the simple things of everyday life - like knowing where to go to get electric service established, knowing where the best restaurants are located, knowing the best routes to transport our kids to and from school in the morning and evening, and knowing what telephone and internet services are available for the city and the county.
RECOMMENDED DOCUMENTS:
When securing new services, such as electricity, water, phone, etc., be prepared by having the following documents on hand:
- Current Driver License
- Children's Birth Certificate
- Children's Immunization Records
- Social Security Cards (Yours and Your Children's)
- Proof of Automobile Ownership and Insurance
