FAQ
Are taxes paid through escrow? +
Usually — your lender collects 1/12 each month and pays the bill twice yearly. Avoids surprise lump sum.
Why does tax vary so much? +
Local services depend on it — schools, roads, fire. High-tax states (NJ, IL, TX) often have great schools or no income tax to compensate.
