Can some one claim ownership on a property by paying property tax?
05-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
I plan to buy house from an NRI. His relative who takes care of the property warns me not to buy it as he pays tax on his name. He threatens me with legal troubles using these tax bills. He has no sale deed on his name. May I go ahead and buy the property from the NRI?
Tax bills cannot confer ownership of a property on a person who paid the tax. Tax bills must be generated in the name of the owner of the property as per revenue records. Check all the property related documents for clean title and then purchase. You can inform the nri about the threat posed by his relative.

Most people agree that paying property tax will not give a taxpayer ownership rights over a property. One cannot claim ownership by paying property tax on real estate that belongs to another. You can always pay taxes on another person's property.
