Taxpayers who have an escrow account

The Treasurer’s Department sends your tax bill to your mortgage company IF they request the bill.  The message, “A COPY OF THIS BILL HAS BEEN SENT TO MORTGAGE PROVIDER,” will be printed on your copy of the tax bill.  If this message does not appear on your bill and you have an escrow account, you should send a copy of your tax bill to your current mortgage company.
