Do you have an escrow account?

If you have an escrow account, your portion of your property taxes are already being prepaid with your mortgage payment each month. However, the amount you are paying each month is based on the home's value without exemptions. Once you apply for the Homestead Exemption, you should receive a refund payment for the excess amount . Notify your escrow company of the exemptions once they are approved. To check if your exemptions were added to your account, search your property address here. Exemptions will be shown in the left column.
