Personal and real property taxes in most states must be paid in full at the time they are due.
The usual procedure is for payments made by the person owing back taxes to be applied to any arrearages rather than the year in which they are being paid.
For example, if taxes were owed for 2005 and the person did not pay his or her taxes until 2007 that amount would be applied to the 2005 arrearages, the next payment would be applied to 2006, and so on.
