If you inherit something like a tax-sheltered account, you may owe income taxes when you make withdrawals from the account. Examples are a traditional IRA or a 401k. If you inherit property that has gone up in value since the date of death, you may have to pay tax on the increase in value when you sell it. If you inherit US Savings Bonds on which the previous owner has not been paying taxes annually, you may owe income tax on the interest when you cash them in. If you inherit corporate bonds, you may have to pay income tax on any interest payments after the date of death. But, in general, you do not owe income taxes on an inheritance.
Taxes, including inheritance taxes, vary from state to state, and country to country. Sometimes your other income will be included in the tax calculations and other times not, or only partially. Therefore, it is not possible to give an answer to this question as you yourself would be the only person that has all of the necessary information needed to complete you income tax return, and so compute your tax liability.
Laws about inheritance vary depending on the country, so check the laws for your specific country. But in general, it should be possible to decline an inheritance - and sometimes it may be to your advantage to decline it, because receiving the inheritance may come along with certain obligations - such as taxes paid on the inheritance, or conditions imposed by the person who leaves you the inheritance.
Inheritance taxes and property taxes are entirely separate issues. Regardless of whether or not we agree with taxes you still have to abide by them. I personally don't agree with the scope of inheritance taxes, however the government considers an inheritance taxable income.
