14. How are the municipal property taxes calculated on an ING DIRECT mortgage?
All installments of municipal taxes including any and all supplementary taxes are to be paid up to and including the funding date of a mortgage. The mortgagee’s monthly tax component will be as indicated on the mortgage application. This figure will be finalized on the date the mortgage is advanced.


The property tax calculation should be done as follows:

(Annual Taxes – Paid to Date Taxes) x 1.05 (to allow for increases)

12

The property tax portion of the clients’ mortgage payments will be adjusted at the beginning of each subsequent year, adjusting for any shortfalls or overages.
