Another thing to check is you county taxes charged at closing. We were overcharged more than double what the our part of the county taxes were and had to have it refunded by the closing agent. We were told they just estimate the county taxes at closing and that this happens all the time in their favor apparently.

Get the amount of the county tax bill for the year you closed, divide it by 365 and multiply that by the number of days you owned the property in that year and see if it agrees with the amount you were charged on your closing statement amount...
Great info, thanks
