What else can I help you with?
If I pay someone elses property taxes does the property become mine?
Answer:If you pay someone's property taxes you would be considered a volunteer.

Contact your local city or county treasurer who handles the property taxes for your area.

What are state tax liens and why are they important?
Taxes levied on a homeowner for their property to secure the payment of taxes. A tax lien may be imposed for delinquent taxes owed on property, or as a result of someone not paying their taxes. They are important, because you want to keep your house and property, and not get it seized. Tax liens are issued when the IRS decides to claim your assets as their own in lieu of you paying your income taxes. Tax liens can take your real property, empty your bank accounts, and seize your paychecks.

Is the life estate terminated if someone moves away from the property and stopped paying taxes for the past three years?
It depends upon the laws of your state. Usually, a "life estate" means exactly that - the grantee has the privilege of occupying or using the property for the remainder of their LIFE. Much depends on how the life estate was granted and worded. Read the wording. Are they required to maintain the property - pay the taxes on the property - etc - etc.? REGARDING THE UNPAID TAXES: If the grantee abandoned the property and ceased paying taxes on it - the grantor(s) actually owning the property had better be paying the taxes or it could be sold at a tax auction for the unpaid tax lien.
What reasoning supported tying the right to vote property ownership?
Before 1920, most taxes were assessed on property. When all taxes are based on property, it makes sense to restrict voting to property owners. When non-property owners are voting on property TAXES, the non-owner is has no reason not to vote for higher taxes that he won't be paying. Since the advent of the income tax, even people who don't own property are paying taxes, so the voter rolls needed to be expanded. Here in 2014, the disconnect between paying taxes and voting is becoming bad again.

Property taxes are the responsibility of the owner. The owner may make arrangements to have someone else pay instead, but ultimately if the taxes are not paid it will be the owner who suffers when the property is sold at auction.
