You are not required to have one, but the sales representative in a model home works for the builder, not for you. Your own agent can compare builders and neighborhoods with you, review the builder's contract and negotiate price, upgrades and incentives. Most builders in the Amarillo area pay the buyer's agent, so ask the builder how that works before you sign. Bring your agent on your first visit: some builders will only work with an agent who registers you the first time you come in.

Many do, and some have both. A PID is a City of Amarillo Public Improvement District. Its assessment pays for things like parks, entries and landscaping, and it is billed on the property tax bill, separate from any HOA dues. In Town Square, for example, the PID assessment typically works out to about $775 to $1,350 a year on the lots it covers. Ask for the HOA dues and the PID assessment for the specific lot before you sign. Each neighborhood guide linked above lists what we know.

Texas appraises property as of January 1. If the home was a bare lot or only partly built on that date, the first tax bill is based on that lower value. The next year the appraisal district values the finished home, so the tax bill and your monthly escrow payment go up. Ask your lender to estimate your payment using the finished home's value. Most homes inside Amarillo city limits pay about 2% of appraised value a year in total 2026 rates, and homes outside city limits pay no city tax.

Yes. Hire your own licensed inspector even though the home is new. Good times are before the drywall goes up if the home is still being built, again before closing, and around month 11 so repairs can be requested before a one-year workmanship warranty ends. Outside city limits there is no city building inspector, so your own inspection matters even more. Builder warranties vary: many cover workmanship for one year, mechanical systems for two and the structure for ten. Get the warranty terms in writing.

Sometimes. Builders often offer closing-cost help, a lower interest rate or upgrades, usually tied to using their preferred lender. Get a Loan Estimate from at least one other lender and compare the rate, fees and total cash to close with and without the incentive. Incentives change from month to month and from builder to builder. Many builders also use their own contract instead of the standard Texas forms, so read the deadlines, the deposit terms and what happens if the home is finished late.
