Are property tax disbursement and real estate tax the same thing? If they are, can you add them together?

I have had 2 different lenders for my home. In one of my 1098s, it's labelled as real estate tax paid and in the other 1098, it's labelled as property tax disbursement. Are these the same thing and can I add them both together?

Yes, these are the same thing (i.e. both Real Estate Taxes you paid on your property).  You can and should add them together and take a deduction for the total.
