How does escrow work with your Homeowners Insurance?
Your mortgage company divides your Homeowners premium up and includes it in your monthly house note. They keep that money in your escrow account and pay your Homeowners Insurance once a year at renewal. Keep in mind your insurance policy belongs to you. If you sell your home, you need to contact us to cancel your policy.
