Understanding Your Mortgage Payment with Taxes

Why Include Property Taxes and Insurance in Your Mortgage Payment?

Your mortgage payment is typically broken down into two components: principal and interest. However, most homeowners also need to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance as part of their overall monthly payment. These costs are often escrowed, meaning they are included in your mortgage payment and paid by your lender on your behalf to the local tax authority and insurance company. By including these costs in your mortgage payment, you avoid the need to pay them separately each year.
