It is the responsibility of the land owner to pay the property taxes. If a land owner is selling property for which back taxes are owed the payment of the taxes can be part of the negotiations for the sale of the land. However, the issue must be addressed prior to the sale.

It is up to the purchaser of property to make certain the property taxes have been paid by the seller at the time of the purchase. If the buyer doesn't demand proof the taxes have been paid BEFORE the sale, the land will be acquired SUBJECT TO any back taxes owed. If land is purchased for which back taxes are owed the new owner will be responsible for paying the back taxes or the town will take possession of the property.

The purchase of real property should always be supervised by an attorney. One of the first items on the land purchase check list is to obtain a certificate from the town that states the taxes are paid.

Can you get your house back if you signed a quitclaim deed?

If you own property and execute a quitclaim deed transferring your interest. You no longer own the property. If the property is subject to a mortgage or if you made the transfer to avoid creditors you have complicated the title and created a problem for yourself but you cannot undo that deed. The grantee in that deed would need to convey their interest back to you. Transferring property that is subject to a mortgage will trigger the "due on transfer" clause. You should consult with an attorney.
