I'm thinking about doing a cash out refinance to finance an addition to my house. I assume my property insurance and tax costs will increase. MPI shouldn't go up as long as I stay under the 80% of appraised value threshold for the cash out, right? Should I expect my property insurance to increase based on the % increase in the amount from the new mortgage?

not at all. your property tax is based off the value your parish/county values your house at. they do not get a copy of the appraisal done by the bank so they will not know if there is an increase in value.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that we are using the cash to add on to the house, so I assume that the county will find out about the increased sq footage through the permit / inspection process.

I would think you would WANT to increase your Hazzard insurance to cover replacement costs and loss of use

Government isn't always that smart, especially since the permits dept and the assessment operation are under two completely different groups of government.

Your property insurance should increase because you will need additional coverage.

I'm in TX.

Thanks, I think I've figured out an answer.
