Set up your home insurance on autopay so you never ever miss a payment. Do you have a mortgage? also autopay. Are your real estate taxes being escrowed by the mortgage company? If so, good. If not, call the tax office in your city and find out when taxes are payable. Make sure that your mailing address is correct on the tax collector's records. You may want to self-escrow the tax liability. That is, set up a separate bank account to pay for the real estate taxes. Every month, auto transfer funds into that account so that when the bill is due, you have already saved the amount needed. Eases having a huge cash bill due.
Do you have flood insurance?
Notify everyone about your new address. This is for all your credit cards, bank accounts, life and health insurance, employee benefits, IRA accounts, magazines, friends and family.
Your town or city may have a page on the website that's a resource for new residents, check it out. When I moved to my current city and called about the water service, the guy who answered was like a one man welcoming committee and told me how to do EVERYTHING one could imagine. It was unexpected but great. Maybe you will come across someone like that!
You're getting good advice so far, so I'll add a couple of things:
1. Owner's title insurance. You want to make sure that you're protected in case there's ever a challenge by anyone claiming they have a right to your property. It's important to make sure this insurance covers you, not just the lending institution.
2. A land survey. It's important to know precisely where your property boundaries are. This comes in handy if you decide to build an addition onto the house, building a fence, or you think the neighbor is building something on your property. More detail is explained in the article below:
While you may have viewed the home a few times, did a walk-thru, and had a home inspection, once you start living there you will notice things here and there that either need to be repaired or you will want to change. Start making a list and add and prioritize as you go.
Make your home safe. Make sure you have ample smoke/co2 detectors and fire extinguishers. Check that all windows and doors lock properly. Make sure exteriors lights work and perhaps set up motion sensors. On that note, start alarm monitoring service if desired.
Buy some alcohol, get a couch or mattress over there, get drunk and "break it in" with your significant other.
You have 30 years (mortgage) to get all that other stuff done!
