There is no law about anyone owing the property taxes. But if they are not paid, a tax sale will result. So try to reach an agreement on paying half the taxes, then check with the County before the last due date for payment.

The IRS has a filing that allows you to sell a house in your IRA, and then re-invest into another house for your IRA, if you do both transactions in one year. If so the asset can be sold tax-free.

It depends on whether the reason the builder did not address your issues is because of your race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, disability, or pregnancy.
We entered into a contract for build in November 23. We made structural upgrades to the build. The builder never moved those numbers to the sales agreement. We then made design upgrades. We again amended the sales agreement but it never had structural upgrade costs put on it. The builder, nor us,... View More

Does the land deed then become the house deed as proof of ownership for the house and property?
answered on Mar 26, 2024
Yes. An improvement like a fixed-position home becomes a part of the land. A deed conveying the land also conveys the home. Just like when you buy a vacant parcel of land and build a home on it.
The neighbor is also a business. It's in an unincorporated zone in Llano Tx, so there are no sign permits. The official property lines on the Land Title are like 3-4 ft off so everyone's lot is technically overlapping.
