Just bought a house, and am wondering what are the normal bills you have to pay monthly?

For me that figure is more in the $300 range for each of the first couple months of home ownership. Especially if this is someone's first house.

Not necessarily monthly, but I budget for all of these monthly:
Water / Sewage
Entergy
ATMOS Gas
Trash Collection (Quarterly)
Termite Protection (Annually)
Cable / Satellite
Internet
Lawn Maintenance
Home Phone Line (did away with several years ago)
Homeowner's Insurance (included in Escrow)
Neighborhood Association Fee (Annually)

Property taxes are usually paid into escrow monthly.

Good point. I overlooked taxes and homeowner's insurance because they're included in my mortgage payment.

I pay:
property taxes (I don't have a mortgage)
water
electric
gas (propane)
internet/tv/cell
That's it. I do my own pest control, lawn maintenance and home security.

How much is that a month?

that's like asking someone how much their car note is a month. Depends on the house, elevation and location as well as a bunch of other factors.
