Before you make an offer
On rural acreage in Jim Wells County, review title documents and surveys for mineral rights reservations, pipeline easements and surface-use agreements, and check private water well and septic system records. In town, ask about foundation history in the local clay soil and check roof permits against recent wind and hail history. Because Jim Wells County is an inland county outside the Tier 1 coastal windstorm pool, ask your insurance agent how that applies to homeowner and wind coverage for a specific address.
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 Alice fall under the coastal windstorm insurance pool?
Jim Wells County is an inland county rather than a First Tier coastal windstorm county, so standard homeowner insurance policies generally include wind and hail coverage without a separate coastal windstorm policy. Confirm exact coverage terms with your insurance agent.
Good to know
Recognized as the birthplace of Tejano music, Alice sits at the junction of TX-44 and US-281 with a straight divided-highway drive east to Corpus Christi International Airport.
