Refinancing and tax question

[Anthony Bates]

Hi all,

I have been considering refinancing to get rid of the mortgage insurance but have held off because I don’t know if doing so will end up effecting the assessed property value and causing the property taxes to increase which would also increse my mortgage payment.  

Is it normal to think this is what happens or am I worrying about something for nothing?

Oh yeah while I’m at it I might as well ask who are some of the best refinance institutions that offer lower interest rates and if possible no cost to refinance.
