In California, paying someone else’s property taxes does not give you ownership. Taxes matter only as one element of adverse possession, and a co-owner who pays more than their share is reimbursed in a partition action.
When a co-owner won’t pay their share of homeowner’s insurance, a partition action lets you recover what you overpaid and end the co-ownership.
One co-owner often ends up paying all the property taxes, especially when another co-owner lives there. A partition action can credit the paying co-owner and end the dispute.
