Mortgage life insurance pays off or reduces your mortgage loan balance (up to the policy maximum) in the event of death before the debt is paid, enabling surviving family members to retain their home. Mortgage accidental death insurance pays off or reduces your mortgage loan balance (up to the policy maximum) if your death is the result of a covered accident.

Estimating Insurance Costs

Insurance FAQs

Do I have to carry insurance on my home?

Yes. The terms of your Mortgage require that you maintain homeowner’s insurance on your property for an amount equal to 100% of the replacement cost of your property. Please keep in mind that this is a safeguard to protect both of our interests in the  property should any damage occur.

Tax FAQs

Why did I receive a bill from my taxing authority when PNC Mortgage is supposed to pay the bill for me?

More than likely, this bill is an assessment or supplemental bill. Some taxing authorities will send this type of bill because an additional amount is due that was not assessed at the beginning of the current tax cycle. You may wish to contact your local taxing authority for clarification.
