Any Advice would be great

Could someone help explain what this entails?

My friend says, “Got a check for $1,400 from my homestead which I desperately needed-But they’re saying to contact my mortgage company first before cashing it? I guess they can raise escrow on me for some reason if I don’t”

APPRAISAL DISTRICT

This letter confirms that you will receive a homestead exemption for the above-referenced account, which was GRANTED FOR 2024 AND 2025 tax years). Unless we receive a notice of a change in exemption qualifications, the approval of your application ensures that the exemption will remain on your account for subsequent years. If you have received a check, please notify the mortgage company that pays your tax out of escrow before you deposit the check for possible refund delivery to their office. Please notify your mortgage company of your applied exemptions. The appraisal district cannot produce an adjusted tax statement that serves as a document to reduce your escrow; however, you can visit our website www.taylor-cad.org to view your account with the correct exemption adjustment to your annual tax. If you need additional information, please get in touch with the Exemption Department at xxxxx

Any help would be appreciated so I can inform him what’s going on! Thanks.
