If you have an escrow account please check with your mortgage co. to see if they are going to pay your property taxes. We will send you a bill around the first of October each year. You should make a copy of this and send it to your mortgage co. If they are going to pay, do not send in a payment. You can look on the website to see when they pay your taxes. Most mortgage companies do not send in payment until the end of December. They have until Jan. 15 to get your taxes paid. We are required to go by the US postmark so make sure you have your payments postmarked before the due date. |
