Can I deduct property taxes not listed on 1098?

When I received my 1098 from our lender it does not show the property taxes which are paid through escrow. I have the escrow statement which shows the two half payments made to the county for property tax. Can this be deducted even if it's not listed on the 1098?

Yes, real estate taxes can be deducted as long as they have been paid. They don't have to be listed on 1098; please be sure to keep your escrow statement for your records as a proof that taxes were paid in 2016.
