🏡 Ocean Springs homeowners—here’s a local update to keep on your radar!

On October 20, city leaders approved:
💧 Higher water and sewer rates
🗑️ Residential garbage charges increasing from $33.50 to $34.50 monthly
🏠 City short-term-rental application and renewal fees increasing to $600

These changes concern city services and city-regulated short-term rentals.

An Ocean Springs mailing address alone does not determine whether your property is affected. Be sure to check for updates on when the new rates take effect!

Visit the City of Ocean Springs website at https://oceansprings-ms.gov/

As one of your local Realtors, I’m here to help you stay informed throughout homeownership!

UPDATED RENDERING.

Help protect the gateway to Ocean Springs: the property across from the yacht club!
Steve Lott has asked this to be shared on his behalf, and I'm happy to help spread the word.

Steve, a pharmacist at Discount Pharmacy and a wonderful neighbor and community member, has been working on a plan to preserve this property as a green space for public use.
He has created a rendering and brought together a team of people who are sharing ideas, lending their talents, and helping move this effort forward.

Steve recently presented his plan at the Ward 2 community meeting, where it received lots of support! Now he will present it to the mayor and Board of Aldermen this Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Board of Aldermen meeting at City Hall.

If you support protecting this property from development, please come show your support for Steve's efforts and encourage the city to help where it can. The trees and natural beauty of this space reflect so much of what makes Ocean Springs special. We have an opportunity to work together, raise funds toward purchasing the property, and preserve a place the public can enjoy for generations.
Making this happen will take community support, and showing up is a meaningful place to start.
JOIN THEN Tuesday at 6 p.m. at City Hall.

SHARE this post and spread the word!

Moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and trying to choose between Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, D’Iberville, Long Beach, or one of our surrounding communities?

Don’t start by asking which one is “best.”
Start with your everyday life...

Where will you work?
How much driving are you comfortable with?
Do you want more land or less maintenance?
Do you prefer an established home or new construction?
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

Tell me what you want daily life to look like, and I’ll help you narrow down which areas and properties deserve a closer look.

Comment COAST or send me a private message for help planning your move.

THE MORE YOU KNOW💁🏼‍♀️
Potassium bromate is a flour additive used to make bread rise higher and bake faster.
In 1999 the World Health Organization’s cancer research agency (IARC) classified it as a possible human carcinogen after it caused kidney and thyroid tumors in rats.
The European Union banned it in 1990, Canada in 1994, and China and the UK do not allow it either.
In the United States the FDA still permits up to 75 parts per million in flour. The FDA opened a review in March 2024 but has not banned it.
A 2026 EWG review found it in over 200 products sold in US stores, including flour tortillas, soft pretzels and baked goods. California passed a law that bans it starting January 1, 2027.
Check the ingredient list on your bread, tortillas, rolls and pizza dough for the words potassium bromate or bromated flour.

🚨 HOMEOWNERS that are paying off your house or have paid it off, and CASH BUYERS💰...

DO NOT CANCEL YOUR FLOOD INSURANCE!

It may seem like an easy way to save money once your home is paid off—but it could cost you thousands when it's time to sell.

A future buyer will not qualify for the same flood insurance rate you're locked into and have been paying. A much higher premium could make your home less affordable and even cause you to lose a qualified buyer because those costs could push them beyond their debt to income ratios.

🌊 Sometimes the smartest investment is in keeping your flood insurance policy active ~ not only for yourself should an issue arise, but to help make your property easier to sell in the future!
