How do I know if this bill for a front foot benefit assessment is legitimate?

If you're unsure whether your Front Foot Benefit Assessment bill is legitimate, your closing documents, title company, or BMS can help verify your assessment.

We understand that receiving an invoice for a Front Foot Benefit Assessment can be confusing, especially if you've recently purchased your home or have not noticed this charge before. It's always a good idea to verify any invoice before making a payment.

Here are a few ways to confirm whether your property is subject to a Front Foot Benefit Assessment:

  1. Review Your Closing Documents: The existence of a Front Foot Benefit Assessment should have been disclosed during the home-buying process. Check your settlement paperwork, sales contract, or title documents (such as the ALTA settlement statement) for references to the assessment.
  2. Contact Your Title Company: If you no longer have access to your closing documents, your title company can help determine whether a Front Foot Benefit Assessment is associated with your property.
  3. Contact BMS: If you still have questions, contact BMS directly. We have been managing Front Foot Benefit Assessments for more than 30 years and can help verify whether the charge applies to your property and provide additional information about your account.

If any information on your invoice appears incorrect or suspicious, contact BMS directly using the contact information listed on our official website (e: support@bmsmg.com | p: 301-924-5600) before making a payment.
