The Property Appraiser's office can assist you with estimating upcoming property tax amounts. Typically, between 3 to 8 months of taxes are collected for escrow.Typically the seller would put a portion of the taxes prorated for the portion of the 2023 year that they owned the home into escrow at closing. Upon execution of the agreement, the deposit will be sent to the seller's attorney to be held in escrow pending completion of the transaction. If they do not close as per the closing date you will sue them for breach of contract and specific performance, which will force them to sell the property. If you pay your taxes through an escrow account, the mortgage company will request your tax bill from our office each year.
