Interesting bit on taxes on Christine's former Coyote Pass Lot

This comes from Katie Joy: Say what you will about her but she does get info from reliable sources.
Kody & Robyn Brown were desperate for Christine to hand over her lot on Coyote Pass when she left the family. However, their urgency to have the lot has not compelled them to pay their taxes.
WOACB obtained property tax records for the parcel that Christine once held along with Kody. The last tax payment on the lot was made in September 2021 which is the same month that Christine left.
Kody & Robyn have made no additional payments since September 2021. The taxes are now late and the county has assessed a penalty for failing to pay their 2022 taxes.
The county gave the couple until January 3, 2023 to make good on the taxes and they missed the deadline.
What is odd is Kody paid taxes on all other properties in October 2022. Why he failed to pay on this lot could be that the taxes are considerably higher than all the others due to the lot size. Money trouble will be standard for the Kodster now that he’s lost his free labor and worker bee wives.

That is interesting. I just looked at the Coconino Assessors records and Katie's information is correct. But she got that from the same page that just I reviewed.
Coconino does something really different with property taxes. You can split it into two payments if you make the first payment by November 3, and the second payment by May 3 of each year. If you don't make the first payment by November 3, the entire payment is due in January. Somebody forgot about the 4th property when making payments in October.

Of course I know nothing of Arizona laws or such. Would this land have escrow with it that should be covering the taxes if they are making the payments?

You can't finance land with a bank. Although, you can finance land with the property owner or investor. I doubt the owner/investor would factor in taxes since they don't typically do escrow.

When they bought the four lots they paid cash for the two largest lots (Christine and Meri's), and financed the other two with the developer. According to the property tax records the taxes have been paid by checks cut from an accounting firm in Phoenix.
