Gather it once. Find it fast. Hand it on.

The plumber’s number. Your water heater’s model number. The receipt for your new roof. The location of your main water shutoff.

Your home comes with a lot of information. The Home Binder Guide helps you bring it together so you, your family, or someone helping with your home can find what they need.

Created by Proactive Homeowners, this 50-page printable and fillable PDF walks you through building a practical home binder, with clear explanations of what to collect and where to put it.

Eight sections to organize your home’s records

• Emergency: Household information, emergency contacts, and shutoff locations.

• House and Systems: Equipment details, filter sizes, replacement parts, paint colors, and finishes.

• Condition: Inspection reports and a watch list for changes or concerns.

• History: Repairs, improvements, receipts, permits, and contractor records.

• Warranties and Manuals: Warranty details, purchase records, and instructions.

• Belongings: A room photo checklist and household inventory pages.

• Secure Records: A locator for important documents stored securely elsewhere.

Included in your download

You’ll receive binder setup instructions, printable section divider pages, fillable recordkeeping forms, spine and tab labels, notes pages, and guidance for keeping everything current.

Type into the forms using Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer, or print them and complete them by hand. Start with the essentials, then build your binder one section at a time.
