It is relevant and, I suspect, you didn't realize what you were saying. I don't usually make comments like this and will probably get plenty in response, but I couldn't let it pass. Can you imagine getting a tax bill for a home that doesn't exist anymore? It would start the mourning all over again. If it were me, I would think that the town/state/whoever was cruel and heartless even if it is required by law.

While it may seem cruel or heartless, it happens all the time. I have heard of it being waived in at least one instance however.
Think of the town as a business, with income and expenses. They have budgeted for $x.xx in income and depend on that income each year. How would they make up the shortfall?

Not saying it is right, but it is how it is.
