Important Note! We do not send tax bills to mortgage companies. If your property taxes are in an escrow account, your 2010 property tax information will be made available to your mortgage company; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner to ensure taxes are paid. If you have questions about whether your mortgage company will be paying your taxes, contact the company directly, especially if your mortgage company has recently changed.
