Why do lenders require borrowers to escrow taxes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nLenders require borrowers to escrow taxes as a way to protect their investment in the property. By ensuring that property taxes are paid on time, lenders reduce the risk of tax liens being placed on the property.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_much_extra_do_I_need_to_pay_each_month_for_escrowed_taxes\"><\/span>2.

Are there any fees associated with escrowing taxes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nLenders may charge a fee for managing the escrow account, which is typically included in your monthly mortgage payment.
