Thank you r/personalfinance and everyone who helped me figure out what I had to do! I finally solved the issue!
I hope this update will help anyone who might be going through something similar. :)
I called Chase and the county treasurer, it turns out Chase was grossly overestimating my property taxes. They estimated my taxes to be ~7600/year and when I spoke with the county- with a Chase representative on the line- they told me my taxes would be ~2800/year.
So yes, my taxes did go up because they were taxing me on a bare lot last year and this year they will be including the home. But, there was a mistake on Chase’s part when it came to estimating the tax amount. It probably wouldn’t have been caught had I just accepted it!!
-Also on a side note I have filled out the proper paperwork to make my residence my primary residence! Thank you to everyone who suggested looking into that as well! ❤️
