About

Why this site exists and how to use it.

Property Costs Explained is a division of WRS Web Solutions Inc. and provides general educational information about the costs of owning a home.

What we do

We explain the most common cost categories in plain language, and we provide checklists to help you ask better questions. This includes one-time costs (like closing costs) and ongoing costs (like property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance).

What we do NOT do

• We do not provide professional legal, tax, engineering, accounting, or financial advice.
• We do not guarantee accuracy for your situation — costs vary by region and property condition.
• We do not replace due diligence such as inspections, reviewing documents, or checking official sources.

How to use the site

1. Start with Cost Topics to understand the categories.
2. Use Tools & Checklists to plan your questions and budget.
3. Read the Disclaimer before relying on any information.
