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.
