It depends on your state law. Some states do require a 'squatter' to pay taxes on the property, but not all do. Also, there are some that it doesn't matter, but if you do pay taxes for the property, the amount of time that you needed to spend there to take claim of it, will be decreased. You should contact your circuit court or maybe a lawyer to see what the law is in your area.

May a Squatter claiming adverse possession property of neighbor and sues to quiet title finding another Squatter has claimed the same property by adverse possession who gets quiet title?
Preface: I had to read this question several times. Pardon my obvious confusion. All references are as to the laws of the State of Washington. Adverse possession can only be met by proving each of the following elements (Muench v. Oxley, 90 Wn. 2d. 637, 584 P2d. 939 (1978)): the possession must be open and notorious, actual and uninterrupted, hostile, exclusive, and under a claim made in good faith. The necessary period of possession is 10 years; however, one who possesses under color of title and pays taxes for 7 consecutive years can bring an adverse possession action at the end of the 7 year period (RCW 7.28.070). If one element of the test is missing, the property cannot be claimed by adverse possession. Clearly, if two different people claimed title to a property by adverse possession,and both used the property during the 10 year period, neither one would have had exclusive and uninterrupted possession of the property, thereby failing the second prong of the adverse possession test introduced in Muench v. Oxley. One could also claim that the possession was not open and notorious, as well. In conclusion, neither party would succeed in their adverse possession claim because they would fail to meet each element of the adverse possession test.
