My mortgage company pays my taxes, why did you send me a bill?

As mandated by Massachusetts statute, A tax bill is generated for every parcel in the Town of Wakefield and mailed to the mailing address on file with the Assessing Department. We do not bill individual mortgage companies. Generally, the mortgage companies in conjunction with the tax servicing companies receive an electronic file of the updated tax information. They choose the accounts they wish to pay and mail the checks in payment of their accounts to be received by the due date.
