It depends on your jurisdiction's laws and whether there's any kind of agreement among the family members. The agreement may not have to be in writing where you are, but it may too and always helps, but it may be enough if the family can show a pattern of sharing over a decent amount of time. The question is why would a family member refuse, jeopardize family harmony and the loss of equity? If they want out, then maybe it's time to negotiate a buy-out through an agreeable appraisal and if the person still refuses then the family might have to consider what's called an action for "partition" where joint ownership is split up; this can backfire. If the person has no money, the family can loan the funds but it needs to be in writing. Or a fractional interest equal to the amount of the value of the land that is not being paid can be taken off by deed but that kind of arrangement can be complicated and there can be other consequences. These are just some thoughts; the family may need to involve an attorney to figure out all the options and what's going on with the refusing family member.

Why does Miss Emily refuse to pay taxes in A Rose for Emily?

Miss Emily refuses to pay taxes in "A Rose for Emily" because she believes that her family has been exempt from taxes since her father's death. She clings to the idea of her family's former status and refuses to acknowledge the changing times and laws that apply to everyone, regardless of their social standing. Her refusal is a way for her to assert control and maintain her sense of power and superiority in the face of encroaching modernity.
