Taxes increased and mortgage went from $1500 to $3400, a 126% increase! Help!

We bought our home over 2 years ago around this time during the pandemic in the Texas Hill country. We put down 20% on a $400,000 brand new house in a brand new neighborhood giving us a mortgage payment of $1,500. Our lender contacted us and told us that they didn't charge us enough for taxes last year and so this year we'll have to pay $15,000 to escrow, sending our mortgage payment from around $1,500 to over $3,400 starting in about a month.

How can this happen?? And more importantly, what can I do about it? Can we spread out that tax payment over multiple years? We just had a baby late last year and I'm trying to keep a cool head and not freak out. Even if we move and try to rent our home, the new mortgage payment is around $1,000 over the market rate for our area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TX lo its a common issue for out of state buyers. I have friends from other states who see big houses for 700-800K and calculate Mortgage payments and are super happy that they are getting big house for 3k-4k/month. Tax rate include chesaka happy feelings changes completely. Appudu reality lo vastaru.

New numbers makes sense.. that means they almost didn’t charged for property taxes for last year at all. If he is surprised by this.. he will be shocked for sure in future with rising property taxes

May be a survey for tax hasn’t been done on the property and only on land. This is for any new home. After a year, a surveyor does perform the tax assessment and gives a new tax bill. This bill is sent to the lender, as the closing document mentions them as the payer. The lender will collect this updated amount by increasing the escrow payment, which is ultimately from the mortgage payer. These things are expected. May be this guy doesn’t know much about the property taxation system in US. I am not an expert, but tried to learn some before buying my home.

$3500 per month is only for this year .. right? To cover up previous years tax debts.

Going forward,  monthly payment (mortgage and tax) should be less than $2500.

I am guessing his property tax increased from 11k to 15k this year. So his next year could be ~2800.

I am guessing the assessment was not done at the time he bought for his house and later when they did they will count for new market value as per city. Typically the city does assessment every 2 years and again depends on the city though. In my opinion this is expected and we should be prepared for it
