Before you make an offer
San Patricio County is a First Tier coastal windstorm county even for inland towns like Sinton, so ask for windstorm certificates (WPI-8) on the roof, windows and any additions. Check the flood map on parcels near Chiltipin Creek or low-lying drainage channels, and walk the yard to see how rainwater drains. Because the local clay loam soil shifts between wet and dry seasons, ask about the foundation's history. On rural acreage outside city limits, check private water well records and county septic permits.
Windstorm insurance and flood zones vary by property; Marci can point you to the right specialist. This isn't insurance or legal advice.
A question Marci hears
Do homes in Sinton need windstorm certificates even though the town is inland?
Sinton sits in San Patricio County, which is a First Tier coastal windstorm county, so buyers should ask for windstorm certificates (WPI-8 or WPI-8-C) on roofs, windows and structural work when checking insurance options with their agent.
Good to know
Rob and Bessie Welder Park on the north side of Sinton spans more than 100 acres of live oaks with a municipal golf course, walking trails and community sports fields right off US-77.
