What if my mortgage company pays my real estate taxes and I received the tax bill?

If a homeowner has an escrow account for their real estate taxes with a mortgage company, the mortgage company should receive the tax statement.  If, however, the homeowner does receive the tax statement instead of the mortgage company we ask the homeowner to forward it to their mortgage company so they can pay taxes from the escrow account.  We also ask the homeowner to have their current mortgage company notify the Douglas County Treasurer’s office so we can get the correct billing information from the mortgage company.
