The taxes are owed by the homeowners or property owners. Those are the people on the deed or title; so if you are on the deed, you are (one of the people) responsible for the real estate taxes. Being on (or not on) the mortgage has no bearing on your obligation to pay taxes, which is a adjunct of property ownership.
