IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The tax year is from July to July but taxes are made due and payable in full on November 15th. Interest begins on unpaid taxes on November 15th. 2. Taxes are estimated between October 1st and when they are posted and certified, October 15th, by last year’s amount, plus 10-20%. 3. Tax reserve estimates are based on the lender requiring two additional months of reserves over the actual needed. 4. Lender may require a holdback of taxes. If this is the case, reserves may vary. 5. The exact amounts your lender will require in order to establish your impound account may vary based upon the actual closing date of your transaction. Please note that “impound” amounts are not fees. “Impounds” are funds held for property tax payments made on your behalf by your lender. For complete information regarding your impound account, please contact your loan officer.
