If you have a mortgage, who is responsible for filing a Homestead and mortgage exemption?

Alberto M asked:


The taxes in our area when up drastically. My friend asked me to review his tax bill and I noticed he did not have a Homestead or Mortgage exemption. He has a 30 year mortgage on the property and it is his only & primary residence. He’s had the mortgage for five years. Is there a way for him to recoupe some of those taxes because he didn’t have those exemptions. Is his mortgage company responsible?
What about the back money that is owed to him because the county was over charging because he did not have those exemptions for 5 years

      your friend is the one who would do that. if he thinks his tax is too high
      he can call the assessors office and they should recalculate it or at least
      check it out. there should be a place on the tax bill that says what to
      do if you don’t agree with the tax.
