Do you pay taxes on a home insurance settlement from a tornado?

Not exactly. Reimbursement for the loss is not taxable income....just like simply selling the property at no loss/gain would not have been income.
Common sense prevails here - what you CAN'T do is take a casualty loss for damages that are reimbursed by insurance. (The reimbursement means you didn't have a loss). To the degree you have an unreimbursed loss, that's fine. If you report a loss and then are reimbursed, essentially that would become income.

No, you don't directly pay real estate taxes when you rent a home. You don't receive an assessment notice from the local assessor and get the tax bill. However, you do pay real estate taxes indirectly in your monthly rent. Real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other costs are taken into consideration by landlords when they determine the amount of rent they need. Luckily there is also competition from other available rental units, so the landlord can't ask too much in rent.
