Why am I getting this tax statement when my mortgage company pays my taxes or I set up an auto-pay option??

Pursuant to Iowa law, the County Treasurer is required to mail a tax statement to the titleholder of record on all parcels in the County. Third party payers such as mortgage companies or escrow companies request tax statements from the County Treasurer if they are responsible for paying your taxes. If your mortgage/escrow company is required to pay your taxes, you should retain the tax statement sent to you for income tax purposes.

If you are unsure if the mortgage/escrow company is responsible for the property taxes please reach out to them directly to confirm.
