What are the refund options if my escrow check is more than my taxes?

If your tax payment is done through City Hall, the refund will be processed by our Accounting Department and a check will be issued after 15 business days.  If your mortgage company sent payment directly to us and overpaid, the refund will be sent back to the mortgage company.  However, the bank collecting taxes for us in December does offer a faster option:

At TRI CITY BANK, in the Pick ’N Save store on 76th St. and Cold Spring Rd, an immediate refund and confirmation of an overpayment will be provided.  Cashier’s checks will be issued to all payees listed on the escrow check for the refund for both customers AND non-customers.  Refunds may be cashed immediately with a valid ID as long as all payees are present.
