Property Taxes
Each year, every county in Colorado collects taxes based on the assessed value of real property. This is generally referred to as a property tax or county tax. You should receive a Real Estate Property Tax Notice, sometimes referred to as a Tax Certificate, which are typically issued in January. Property taxes are paid in arrears, meaning taxes assessed for year 2018 are paid in 2019.
Please note: You will not need to provide us the Property Tax Notice and should retain it for your records.
The Property Tax notice should state: "If a mortgage company pays your taxes, do not pay this bill." A majority of mortgage borrowers pay each month into an escrow account from which property taxes are paid. If you are escrowing for property taxes, we will be responsible for paying them on your behalf. Our sub-servicer Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc (DMI) handles all of our escrow account payments.
If you are not escrowing for property taxes, you are responsible for making the payment accordingly. It is imperative you pay these before the due date.
There are many ways to check if you are escrowing for Property Taxes. Your escrow information will show on your monthly billing statement or through your online banking mortgage service center. In the Mortgage tab, click “Mortgage Service Center” to be taken to Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc.'s mortgage service center. You may also contact us directly for assistance.
If we are escrowing for your property taxes, our sub-servicer is responsible for updating how much is due for your property taxes, and then make disbursements. As designated on your Property Tax Notice, counties in Colorado allow for property taxes to be paid out in halves. As such, payments will be made in February and May each year to satisfy the amounts owed on your property taxes.
You can see these amounts being disbursed on the appropriate monthly billing statement in the Transaction Activity box.If we are escrowing for your property taxes, you have no additional responsibilities! Simply keep your Real Estate Property Tax Notice for your own records.
If we are not escrowing for your property taxes, please ensure you make the payments as directed on the Property Tax Notice before the due date.Property taxes can be listed on IRS Tax Form 1098, which lists required information about your mortgage loan. Property taxes may be listed on tax forms generated for the year in which they are made. As property taxes are paid in arrears, this means that taxes assessed for 2016 paid in 2017 will be listed on the tax year 2017 form.
For questions related to taxes, please seek a qualified tax professional.Seguro de Vivienda y Seguro contra inundaciones
All loans require evidence of homeowners insurance. Homes within a flood zone also require evidence of flood insurance. There are minimum coverage requirements for both homeowners insurance and flood insurance. You are responsible for maintaining coverage on your home at all times during the life of the loan. Any lapse in coverage that occurs may have an insurance policy purchased at your expense.
If your Homeowners Association (HOA) provides a policy that covers your home, it is your responsibility to submit a copy of this policy to Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc. (DMI) as evidence of insurance.
Yes! This is known as a mid-term change. When changing insurance carriers or coverages, you will be billed by your insurance company.

Many loan terms state that Elevations Credit Union will set up an escrow account to pay property taxes and insurance (including homeowners insurance and flood insurance) on your behalf. In most cases, if Elevations is escrowing for your loan, you will not need to make these payments. Our sub-servicer Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc. (DMI) handles all escrow accounts.
Each year, counties in Colorado collect property taxes that are based on the assessed value of your home. Depending on the value of your home, taxes may increase or decrease. Understanding Your Escrow Account Guide (PDF)(Se abre en una nueva ventana) for more information regarding escrow accounts, including how to read your Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement.
Insurance may also change each year depending on the value of the home and coverages purchased. This includes homeowners insurance and possibly flood insurance. Due to these changes, the amount required to be escrowed may increase or decrease. Each April, DMI completes a scheduled escrow analysis to ensure we are collecting appropriate funds. You will receive an Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement from DMI that details both a projection of payments for the coming year, as well as a history of the previous year’s payments. The escrow analysis will determine your new escrow payment, based on the updated information for property taxes and insurance. Download ourAs described above, escrow payments may change. When you receive your Escrow Account Disclosure Statement, this will detail if there are any overages or shortages for your escrow account. Any overages over $50.00 will be paid directly to you in a check included with the statement. When a shortage has occurred, this means there were not enough funds collected to cover the payments disbursed throughout the year to pay the increased taxes and/or insurance.
DMI will automatically spread your escrow shortage over a 12 month period, which will be added on top of your monthly mortgage payment. You may also choose to pay the entire shortage listed on the Escrow Shortage Remittance Form using one of the methods below:Pay via online banking
Log into online banking(Se abre en una nueva ventana) using your digital banking username and password
Launch the mortgage service center by clicking on the mortgage name on the account dashboard
Select “Payment” and then “One Time Scheduled payment”
Use the right column payment option to enter the desired amount in the Escrow option
Mail a check with the remittance form directly to DMI
Upon receipt of the entire shortage payment, the monthly escrow shortage amount will be removed from your mortgage payment by DMI, which is reflected on the remittance form.
When you pay your shortage, you are covering the difference between the projected escrow disbursals and the actual escrow disbursals during the prior year. For example, if your Escrow Account Annual Disclosure Statement showed projected disbursals for property taxes of $1,000.00, but the actual required disbursal was $1,200.00, the difference is included as part of your shortage. This is found on page 2 of the Escrow Account Annual Disclosure Statement.
However, the new projected escrow disbursal for property tax is now $1,200.00 for the coming year, rather than $1,000.00. Therefore, each month we must collect funds based on this new projection to ensure the escrow account can satisfy future payments when due. This means that though you paid your shortage, your monthly payment may still change to ensure your escrow account is adequately funded moving forward.Each month we are required to collect one twelfth (1/12) of the total amount projected to be paid out from your escrow, along with a required cushion. While you can make an additional payment into your escrow account at any time, we still have to collect the required amount each month.
In other words, extra funds paid to your escrow account will not change the amount we are required to collect from you each month. Any funds you pre-pay into your escrow account are used to calculate any overage or shortage during the annual escrow analysis. Any overages discovered during the annual escrow analysis must be returned to you accordingly.There are many ways to check if you are escrowing. Your escrow information will show on your monthly billing statement or through your online banking mortgage service center. In the Mortgage tab, click “Mortgage Service Center” to be taken to Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc.'s mortgage service center. You may also contact us directly for assistance.

Seguro Hipotecario Privado de la Primera Hipoteca (PMI/MI)
Generally, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI/MI) is required on your loan when the loan amount compared to the house value is over 80%. This is called your loan-to-value ratio. This insurance protects Elevations Credit Union in the case of default. Monthly payment of PMI is handled out of your escrow account by our sub-servicer, Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc (DMI).
Your PMI/MI disclosure statement received at closing will detail when your monthly PMI payment will auto-terminate. If you have a monthly PMI/MI payment, you may qualify to have this removed upon meeting required federal guidelines. The earliest date to request removal of PMI/MI will be determined based on the loan-to-value ratio, the seasoning (age) of your loan, property value by appraisal and payment history.
To remove PMI/MI, please contact our mortgage servicing team at (303) 443-4672 ext 1709 or (800) 429-7626, or email [email protected](Se abre en una nueva ventana).
