In addition to the regular tax bills, some states will issue a tax bill out of the normal cycle. This may be referred to as a supplemental, interim, or added assessment tax bill. Some taxing authorities send these bills because an additional amount is due which wasn't assessed at the beginning of the current tax cycle. These types of billings are mailed to the homeowner only; the mortgage company does not receive this type of billing.

Other added tax bills include (but aren’t limited to) ground rent, occupancy, or mobile home taxes.

If you can’t pay the bill and want to pay it from your escrow account, send us a written request. We'll need a copy of the bill, the mortgage loan number, and a signed note asking that it be paid from the escrow account. Please be aware, since we weren't anticipating paying the added bill, an escrow shortage may occur.
