Can I pay my own real estate taxes and homeowners insurance if my mortgage is through North Shore Bank?

Loan amounts with a loan-to-value greater than 80 % require an escrow account for the payment of real estate taxes and insurance. Borrowers with a loan-to-value less than 80% may request to waive the escrow account requirement and pay these items themselves with the lenders' approval.
