So I got a statement in the mail from the county tax collector for my annual property taxes. I live in Florida, Osceola county, and have an escrow account through my mortgage (Chase). The statement says "this is not a bill-do not pay. Your bill has been forwarded to your escrow agent." However on the statement is says if I pay by Nov 30th, payment is $697. If I pay by Dec 31st, payment is $704. So on and so on it gets more expensive until April. In order to maximize my savings, how do I make sure my escrow agent pays by November 30th? I've never owned property before so I'm not sure how funds are paid through an escrow account. Thanks
