I understand that taxes should not be disclosed on the GFE, however, how is your bank disclosing property taxes in the following situations?

1. The customer is purchasing a house.
2. The customer is refinancing their home.
3. The customer is refinancing their home where the 1st half of the taxes are currently due and the first payment isn't until after the taxes are due.

We currently disclose taxes in the 900 series (POC Borrower)and in the 1300 series when they are due before the first payment is to be made.

I've read a few posts that contradict our assumption of disclosing taxes in the 900 series as it doesn't meet the definition of a settlement service in 3500.2 . However, I see 3500.2(13) mentions the service involving real estate taxes. Can someone tell me how taxes does not meet the definition of a settlement service?

Property tax payments go on page 1.

In every situation? Would you be able to give me additional guidance on where to find this in RESPA or the FAQ document?

Property taxes are not a settlement charge. Taxes would have to be paid whether this involves a loan or not. If they don't belong on page 1, why are their specific lines designated for them? I'm sure that it is the instructions to the HUD-1 for those line items.

Currently, we use lines 104-105 on page 1 for our payoff off the loan(s) that are currently being refinanced. Where would those charges now be listed?

Property taxes go in the 210 and above series and 510 and above series (have you even looked at the form?).

Unknown, anything that could create a lien on the property if left unpaid belongs on page 1. This includes prior liens, property taxes and homeowner association dues.

I agree that the taxes go in the series rlcarey has noted above in a purchase transaction. However, our lenders like to list the taxes as POC in the 900 series in a refinance transaction. Where are others listing the taxes in a refinance.

"However, our lenders like to list the taxes as POC in the 900 series in a refinance transaction."

Whether they "like to" or not, on what basis are they listing these items?? Unless taxes are being paid in conjunction with a refinance transaction, they do not appear on the HUD-1.

I'm bringing this back up.

Randy, they are probably an FDIC-Chicago regulated institution that is trying to follow CHIRO Bulletin 14-2005, which instructed their banks to disclose real estate taxes on the GFE and HUD as a POC item.

The reason I'm bringing this back up is that I had a discussion with an FDIC examiner recently who said that they are still following that bulletin, even though it is 7 years old and you can't do POC items on the GFE. Taxes do not meet the definition of a settlement charge and unless you are doing pro-rated taxes as part of a purchase, escrowing, or paying delinquent (disbursement), they have no place on the HUD. I'm trying to get more information on this. This opinion only exists to my knowledge in the Chicago region of FDIC...
