In residential contracts in the US, the buyer pays for the appraisal which is required to obtain a mortgage. Some contracts may be negotiated that a portion of the closing costs are seller paid on behalf of the buyer which could include the appraisal in the final accounting.

Is it required for seller to prorate real estate taxes?

Real estate tax laws in the United States vary state by state. However, I do not know of any state that requires the seller to prorate real estate taxes. Instead the proration of real estate taxes is local custom and generally written into an agreement to buy or sell real estate. Contractually, upon agreement of the parties involved, the real estate taxes are generally prorated so that whoever owned the real estate during the calendar year pays for that same portion of the real estate taxes.
