This option is especially beneficial for anyone who recently purchased a property or refinanced. Many lenders
are submitting their statement requests now so property owners who either paid off a loan or refinanced may
not receive a statement without taking advantage of this option. Recent changes to the law allow local
governments to waive penalty and interest if a mortgage company requests a statement in error and taxes are
not paid, but weigh your options. Additional consideration? Printing and mailing of a single tax statement is
approximately $0.55. Those cents add up to common sense government!
