Does Your Mortgage Company Pay Your Taxes?

Are your property taxes included with your escrow? If so, here is what you need to know:
* Most mortgage companies use a third‑party tax service to pay property tax payments.
* You will receive a notification from your mortgage company typically issued around the second week of December confirming that property taxes have been paid.
* These tax services generally issue the tax office one large lump‑sum check on December 31.
* We kindly request that taxpayers allow sufficient time for our office to process these payments.
* Verify your account status on our website in early January.

Should you have questions, please contact our office at 817-884-1100.

Friendly Reminder for Dealers:

Yellow SIT Property Tax Statements

If you receive a yellow Annual SIT Property Tax Statement from the Tarrant County Tax Office and pay into your 2025 SIT escrow account, please do not pay from the statement until the transfer is complete.

Important:
Statements include: “Do Not Pay from this statement.”

Escrowed funds will be applied automatically in mid-January.

Escrow Transfer Highlights:
* Funds are transferred mid-January to pay taxes.
* No action is needed unless your 2025 escrow account has no funds.

Deficiency Notices:
If escrow doesn’t cover the full amount, a Deficiency Notice will be mailed showing the remaining balance.

Heavy Equipment Dealers: Starting Jan 1, 2026, HB 3424 shifts you to quarterly filing and mandates 4-year record retention. Duplicate statements to Appraisal Districts are eliminated. Update your systems now!
