Typically the seller will, however in real estate anything is negotiable. The real estate broker or other person responsible for the closing estimates the annual real estate taxes for the subject property being sold. The seller is responsible for the real estate taxes from January 1 through the day before closing. The buyer is responsible for real estate taxes as of the day of closing through the end of the year. Real estate taxes are generally estimated and prorated on a calendar year basis. At closing both the buyer and the seller receive a copy of the settlement sheet that, among other things, shows debts and credits for real estate taxes. If, at the end of the tax year, the estimated taxes were substantially inaccurate, the party that underpaid for their portion of the prorated year can be asked to contribute to the party that overpaid.

Does a renter of a house have to pay property taxes on it?

The answer technically is "NO" because the owner of the house pays the taxes. However, if it is stated in the lease that the renter signs, and the owner charges the property taxes, the answer would be yes. But, technically the owner legally pays property taxes on their home. If a renter signs a lease with this worded as such, the owner is scamming you and your rent will be higher than it should be. Do not sign it!
