Is it legal for a landlord to pass along to tenants the land county and city taxes?

I rent a trailer lot. The property has recently changed hands and the new landlord has been passing along fees that the previous landowner paid. First came the water bill, which is park-wide as there are no individual water meters tied to the individual trailer lots. Now he is passing along the city and county taxes on the home I live in. He has also passed along the new deposit for water/sewer since he had to sign one since he bought the land I rent. What are his fees to pay and what are mine from a legal standpoint?
