I prefer to have the town withdrawal the property taxes for my home directly from my bank account. My financial institution doesnt pay me interest on holding onto my property tax money til its due.

You might be right, i'm not an expert. My mortgage broker told me it would save me money if I paid my property tax directly and not through my mortgage, so I took him at his word.
