Note to Taxpayers with Taxes Escrowed through Mortgage Company:

Taxpayers who have their taxes escrowed through their mortgage company will also receive a tax bill statement. It will say “In Escrow” or  “Informational”  This means you do not pay your taxes because your mortgage company is paying it. Fountain County is required to send notice to the taxpayer.
