Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required on your loan if your Loan to Value ratio is more than 80%. PMI protects lenders and others against financial loss if the borrowers default. Charges for the insurance are added to your loan payments. Under certain circumstances, federal law gives you the right to cancel PMI or request PMI to automatically terminate.

If you are current on your loan payments, PMI will automatically terminate on the date the principal balance of your loan is first scheduled to reach 78% of the original value of the property.

If you would like to request the cancelation of PMI on your loan, please contact Blaze Mortgage Servicing for guidelines.

Yes, the fee is .75% of the unpaid principal balance at time of relock for loans originated on or after October 1, 2025, and .50% for loans originated prior to October 1, 2025. For example, if the unpaid principal balance is $200,000, the fee would be $1,500. This fee cannot be rolled into the loan.

The new required minimum monthly loan payment will be based on the new locked rate, unpaid principal balance and the remaining term on your loan.

The new monthly-required minimum payment amount will be effective one month after the rate change occurs.

Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement

Escrow accounts hold funds for property taxes and insurance payments. Every year, Blaze is required to analyze your escrow account to determine if we are collecting an adequate amount to pay your property tax bills and insurance premiums on your behalf.

The purpose of the Escrow Account Disclosure Statement (also known as the Escrow Analysis) is to provide information on amounts collected and paid for the previous year and projected payments for the current year. Blaze is not changing the terms of your mortgage or your monthly loan payment.

The Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statements are sent out in late June or early July.

Payment Updates

Your new escrow payment will be effective
September 1.

If you set up an automatic payment in Blaze Digital Banking, you will need to adjust your monthly mortgage payment amount.

Surplus Payments

If you have an escrow surplus greater than $50, the funds will be deposited within two weeks of the Escrow Analysis statement date into the Blaze Savings account associated with your mortgage.

Lump-sum Shortage Payment

If you have an escrow shortage and choose to pay it in a lump sum, you can pay it in Blaze Digital Banking, at your local Blaze branch, or by mail using the address on the statement.

This must be completed no later than two weeks prior to the new payment effective date of August 1.

How to Read Your Blaze Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement

Follow these tips or read our guide on how to understand your escrow analysis. If you have any questions, please contact us at 651.215.3500.

Page 1

The top of the first page of the Escrow Analysis provides the projections for the coming year effective September to August.

sample of page one of an Escrow Analysis

Federal rules require a minimum balance, called an escrow cushion, to ensure funds are available when bills come due.  If your actual balance falls below this level, a shortage occurs.

In this sample case, there was a shortage of $835.74 to cover escrow disbursements for the previous year.

Escrow Analysis Sample

The last paragraph of the first page of the Escrow Analysis shows your new monthly payment. The Principal and Interest payment for your Blaze Mortgage loan did not change.  Only the escrow portion of your payment was adjusted due to changes in taxes and/or insurance.

 

Escrow Analysis Sample

Page 2

The second page of the Escrow Analysis shows the activity on your account over the last year compared to what was projected.

The Projected Payments From Escrow column shows the best information available at the time of the previous Escrow Analysis. If taxes or insurance changed over the last year, the actual amounts will be higher or lower than projected.

The bottom right-hand corner of the table shows your anticipated escrow balance for the current year. This is the amount used to estimate your escrow payments for the upcoming year.

Escrow Analysis Sample

The Escrow Annual Information section at the bottom of the second page shows how much was paid into your escrow account over the last year and what was paid out. The differences reflect whether a shortage or surplus occurred and why an adjustment may be made for the upcoming year.

Finally, you'll see an itemized list of disbursements for taxes and insurance for the last year.
