My lender went up on my mortgage payment because of the increase in taxes. Can this be right?

Mortgage companies base the escrow on an estimate of property taxes at the time of the closing. Property taxes normally increase each year due to the increase in the millage rate. If you experienced a large increase it could be due to the mortgage company estimation your taxes as owner occupied and you have not applied for the owner occupied rate.
