Is a tax monitoring fee a pre-paid finance charge?

Question: 
Our institution would like to charge a one-time $ 75 fee to our mortgage customers for our service of monitoring whether or not their property taxes are paid over the life of their loan. Is this a pre-paid finance charge? Are there other compliance issues we should be addressing?
Answer: 

This is a prepaid finance charge similar to life of loan flood monitoring. List this fee in the 800 section of the HUD-1/1A.
