Can I have my tax bill sent directly to my bank or mortgage company?

You may, however, the Assessors do not advise it. If the tax bill goes directly to the bank or mortgage company, the taxpayer will not be aware of what their property valuation is or what taxes are due. They will find this out when the bank or mortgage company requests more money for their escrow account. By this time, if they have a question on their valuation, the filing period for abatement applications will have passed and they will be unable to appeal their value.
