Basic Tax Service
Tax reporting is completed on an annual or semi-annual basis, depending on the collection frequency of the taxing authority. Basic Life-of-Loan Service includes:
- Delinquent Tax Report: This report lists borrowers who are in arrears in the payment of their real estate taxes.
- Different Owner Report: This report is produced when a different Owner of Record appears on the county tax rolls. This report alerts the lender of the possible unauthorized transfer of the loan.
- Incorrect Information Report: This report is produced when research reveals an inconsistency in parcel number or address.
- Monthly Lender's Report: This report is prepared at the beginning of each month listing all contracts received from the lender in the previous month. We will provide a copy of every Service Contract, showing the date received, if the lender requests.
Optional Additional Services
These services may be added to the Basic Tax Service for an additional fee:
- Delinquent Tax Letter: Nationwide will prepare and forward to the borrower a Delinquent Tax Letter detailing the delinquent amount and late penalties, as applicable. A duplicate copy is prepared and forwarded to the lender.
- Impound Account Service: Nationwide will, at the appropriate time, secure the tax bills for the subject property and report this information to the lender. For an additional fee, Nationwide will disburse funds to the taxing authority on the lender’s behalf. Note that properties under Impound Account Service will not be reported for delinquencies.
- Renewals and Notice of Change: Nationwide will gladly extend our original service upon receipt of a renewal fee. We request that clients notify Nationwide of changes, corrections, or cancellations to their Service Contracts.
- Flood Determinations: Manually researched to the structure. 90 minute average turnaround time. Free rush service and consultations. See the Compliance Services link for more detail.
