We can’t make your property taxes go away…but we can help you avoid the nasty October surprise.
Dear Homeowner:
That’s the sound of a taxpayer being hit between the eyes with annual property tax bill.
This is the time of year when we dig deep into our pockets to pay the tax. Even as we pay it, we know we’ll get another one next year --- probably even higher.
Wham!
But this year’s blow can be cushioned, and next year’s won’t even be felt, if you put us to work for you. We’ll lend you the money for this year’s taxes and set up a monthly escrow program for next year’s. No problem, because your mortgage loan is with us.
Here’s how it works:
- You call us or drop in. If you already have your ,tax bill, tell us the amount; if you don’t have it yet, we’ll prearrange a loan so the money will be there when the bill comes in.
- For this year’s tax, there’ll be a small increase in your payments, to cover the new loan.
- For next year’s tax, you won’t have to worry about suddenly having to come up with a big lump sum, because you’ll already have provided for the tax with our easy monthly escrow program. When you get your tax bill, it already will have been paid.
You needn’t fill out a million papers to get this going. You can drop off the bottom portion of this letter next time you’re in any of our offices; or you can mail it in the envelope I’ve enclosed; or you can phone us in Palm Beach County at 845-3200 and in Martin County at 283-5200. I do suggest you not wait too long, because much as we all dislike tax bills, they have to be paid, and delays cause penalties making the tax bite even greater.
I’m delighted to be able to offer you this service. I hope you’ll take advantage of it and and forever the annual “Wham!” of your property tax bill.
Sincerely,
Pat J. Snow, Jr.
Senior Vice President
P.S.
Once Community Federal is handling your tax bill, you’ll be able to cover most annual increases by simply adjusting next year’s amount. We’re your savings and loan and we intend to prove it every day!
