How do property taxes impact the cost of refinancing a home loan?

Property taxes can impact the cost of refinancing a home loan in a few ways. Firstly, if the property tax amount owed is not paid off, it can become a lien on the property. In this case, the lender may require that the unpaid property taxes are paid off before refinancing the mortgage loan.

Additionally, property taxes can impact the overall cost of the mortgage payment. As property tax rates can change over time, the amount owed in property taxes can increase or decrease, which can impact the amount of the monthly mortgage payment. If the property tax rates increase, the homeowner will have to pay more in property taxes, which will increase the amount of the monthly mortgage payment.

Therefore, when refinancing a home loan, it's important to factor in the impact of property taxes on the overall cost of homeownership. Homeowners should consider not only the interest rate and fees associated with the new mortgage loan but also the potential impact of property taxes on the monthly mortgage payment.
