Hopefully, this is one thing that you would have agreed upon when you made this living arrangement or have put it into a written lease. The government will be glad to accept the taxes from whoever pays them. If nobody pays them, penalties and interest are added to the taxes. And if it lasts long enough, the house will be sold at a tax sale and all of you will lose the house.
Unless the person who owns the house WANTS to lose the house, he or she should make sure the taxes are paid. You can decide among yourselves who is going to do it.
Note: The legal or beneficial owner is the only one who can take a federal income tax deduction for real estate taxes paid. If someone else pays it, neither party will get to take a deduction.

Just to clarify for the person above, if you DON'T want to lose the house you should pay the tax. Hey, if you haven't decided who is paying yet, why don't you pick your next door neighbor! What a concept!

It is up to the executor of the will to keep taxes, insurance etc. current.
All members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are paid in full by the U.S. Treasury, which ultimately gets its money from the tax payers.
“husband and wife live together but file separately. both are itemizing deductions. husband pays mortgage and r/e taxes. house in both names. does the mortgage interest and r/e taxes have to be split if all paid by husband or is husband entitled to take full deduction.”
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!
is there an age limit on who pays fica taxes
That depends entirely on the lease agreement...it could be either side.
The Seller is to pay the taxes until the deed/title has been changed over to lessee/buyer name

All the running costs are paid by the state- from the taxes the working people pay.
The buyer does because it is supplementation of difference of the taxes charged from the old price of the house to the new price of the house which was paid by the buyer.
