Good question The answer is "I don't know". Maybe someone here has a better answer.
Say someone has 10 acres and splits it into two parcels, one being 3 acres and the other 7 acres. Once the split has occurred the legal description of neither parcel matches the original description. If the legal description of the property doesn't match then the registration is no good.
Saythe original owner retains the 3 acres and conveys the 7 acres to another who does not record it. My guess would be the original owner would object to continue paying property tax on the whole parcel of 10 acres. I bet he might convey his objection to this situation to the treasurer.
Now if he conveys both parcels to others and no longer has any interest in the property at all I would expect he is going to complain even faster when he continues to receive tax bills in the mail.
Be aware I am not advising anyone to try this. Just investigating the mechanism that drives property tax to better understand its' operation.
