How much did the borrower
pay for county taxes?
The borrower paid $605.36 for county taxes. This amount can be found in line (6) of the Final Settlement Statement.
$605 was for 1/2 of the year. Would it be doubled
Since the county taxes listed on the Final Settlement Statement represent only half of the year, it would be appropriate to double the amount to get the annual county tax amount.
Therefore, the borrower would pay $605.36 x 2 = $1,210.72 for county taxes for the full year.
