You have to keep saying to yourself - Its only a contract, Its only a contract. Find the contract that makes you liable for the tax and the problem is solved. Unfortunatly those contracts are embedded in the numerous documents we've unwittingly signed over the years and are difficult to uncover.My guess would be that the deed is the culprit. Most real property is held with possessary title only and only warrants enjoyment of use. It is the use of the property that is being taxed not the ownership. Think of it like rental property. Doesn't the renter ultimately pay all the costs associated with his tenancy, including property taxes? The deed is the lease agreement that allows the state to charge their annual rent.
