Lentils, sausage and greens

Thanks for all the helpful replies. Not sure why so many downvotes. This is our first home and boy has it been a learning experience. Thanks again, neighbors.

We were notified of the reassessment and our escrow account paid the amount billed for the difference - I am at a loss for why they would not have notified us of any additional amounts owing and wait for nearly seven years.

It was, but our escrow account paid the difference and we made up for it with increased mortgage payments.

The mortgage company calculated taxes at a much lower rate than they actually ended up being. We moved from out of state and were not familiar with how property and school taxes would be calculated. We had no idea that the taxes would be more than our actual p&i amount.
