This includes 2 different costs:
1) Tax Adjustments to Seller-Reimbursing the Seller for the balance of the property taxes paid for the Current Tax Year.
2) Tax Escrows to Lender-Money held by the new Lender so it has enough to pay for the Next Tax Year

NOTE-The Lender will collect 1/12 of the taxes in the Buyer's monthly payment, but will probably not have received a full 12 payments when the taxes are first.  The Lender collects the difference at the closing

NOTE-The total of both combined usually equals ~ 1 year of property tax.  The closer to the end of the tax year the closing occurs, the less that will be owed to the Seller for the remainder of that year.  At the same time, the new tax payment will be coming up sooner and as a result the lender will need more money in escrow to make up for the reduced number of payments it will have received by the time the tax is due.
