Do you have any figures on what percentage of property taxes are paid through a mortgage processor escrow account?
I don’t but it’s a requirement if your mortgage is more than 60% of the value of the home as the banks need to protect themselves from a tax lien which would supersede their lien if there is a foreclosure. Of my clients that own home 90% pay taxes through their escrow.
