Why won't the City of Lewiston send my tax bill directly to my bank or mortgage company?
The Assessor's billing address information is used by all City departments for official notification of zoning changes, appeals, and other items of significance to property owners. In addition, since mortgages are regularly bought and sold, this would increase the chance for a bill being sent to the incorrect party, delaying payment and incurring interest charges. If your property taxes are held in escrow, simply send a copy of the bill to the mortgage company when you receive it and retain a copy for your records.
