It’s that time of year!

If you have your mortgage with PWSB, you may have chosen to escrow money for your property taxes.  That is, you’re allowing us to set aside some of your dollars for taxes each year. 

PWSB will be disbursing the amount of the current year tax bill.  The tax escrow check will be made payable to the municipality and mailed according to the option you selected on your tax escrow option form; either directly to the municipality or to your home.

PWSB works with a third party vendor to obtain the current year tax bill. All tax escrow checks are anticipated to be ready for mailing Monday, December 20.
