Part (a)
Mortgage payments are sometimes made in other than monthly installments (for example, once a year, twice a year, every three months or weekly). In such cases, to obtain the average monthly amount paid, add all payments made in the last 12 months and divide the total by 12.
Part (b)
If the regular monthly mortgage payments shown in part (a) include municipal property taxes but exclude school taxes, mark the circle labelled No in part (b) and enter the amount of annual school taxes paid directly to school tax collectors in part (c).
Part (c)
Include local improvement taxes with property taxes, even if they are billed separately.

For single dwellings, state the value of the entire property (including the value of the land it is on) and the value of any other structure on the property (for example, a garage).
