Question: 1 / 740

During the statutory period required to claim ownership by adverse possession, what is true?

The original owner pays the taxes

The government pays the taxes

The claimant pays the taxes

During the statutory period required to claim ownership by adverse possession, the claimant is responsible for paying the taxes on the property. This is because adverse possession is based on the claimant openly occupying and using the property as their own, so they are treated as the owner for all intents and purposes, including tax obligations. Option A is incorrect because the original owner is no longer considered the legal owner during this period. Option B is incorrect because the government only pays taxes on property it owns. Option D is incorrect because taxes are still required during the statutory period, they are just paid by the claimant rather than the original owner.
