WHY ARE MY PROPERTY TAXES GOING UP

Homebuyers rarely expect that a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage may have a higher monthly payment. While the amount for the principle portion of a borrower's mortgage payment will not increase on a 30-year fixed-rate home loan, other items that are included within an escrowed payment might change. Monthly payment changes could cause a homeowner to wonder why his or her property taxes are going up. Property taxes can increase due to home improvements. Adding an in ground pool or building an outdoor kitchen in your back yard might result in a more costly property tax bill. As your property increases in value, your tax bill is likely to increase as well. When other homes in your neighbor sell above the median price range, you may notice that your property taxes are going up as well.
