How to Prove Property Tax Payment to Escrow or County

Escrow departments and county tax offices often ask for a clean record of your payment. A simple PDF summary is more effective than forwarding multiple emails or screenshots. Use a proof pack to keep everything together.

Step 1: Gather the core payment details

Property address, parcel ID, and tax year.
Payment method, confirmation number, and payment date.
Amount due and amount paid if you made a partial payment.

Step 2: Add supporting evidence

Combine the proof pack with a payment proof cover sheet or a proof of payment PDF so reviewers can match your summary to receipts.

Step 3: Document follow-ups

Log every portal attempt, phone call, or email. A clear contact log helps the county or escrow desk locate the payment faster.

Build the proof pack

Use the Property Tax Payment Proof Pack to export a single PDF you can email or upload.

FAQs

Do I need to show my full bank account?: No. Show only the last four digits and redact unrelated details.
What if the county portal shows “pending”?: Include the pending status screenshot and your confirmation number in the proof pack.
How long should I wait before following up?: Most counties update within a few business days, but follow your county’s published timeline.
