I know that I did not receive the property tax bill for my father's land one year (he is deceased) and it was unpaid for a year- not a problem. I just had to get it up to date. Not sure if the same is true for a house. Why not ask the people handling the taxes? Is it the town or county?

I don't think missing a payment is too bad. I think they give you some time... but I guess hearing answers from the source is the best.
