Paying Homeowner's Insurance & Property Taxes With Your Mortgage Through an Escrow Account
Paying your homeowner’s insurance and property taxes as part of your mortgage is called “escrowing” your insurance and taxes.
Your monthly mortgage payment will cover your property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (HOI) when a mortgage requires that you pay for these through ‘escrow’.
Each month, your monthly property taxes and homeowner’s insurance expenses go into an ‘escrow account’ held by your mortgage servicer (this is who you actually pay for the mortgage).
Escrowing taxes and insurance makes keeping up with taxes and insurance much simpler, which is why lenders give lower interest rates to borrowers that escrow vs. paying these expenses on their own.
