Typically the seller will, however in real estate anything is negotiable. The real estate broker or other person responsible for the closing estimates the annual real estate taxes for the subject property being sold. The seller is responsible for the real estate taxes from January 1 through the day before closing. The buyer is responsible for real estate taxes as of the day of closing through the end of the year. Real estate taxes are generally estimated and prorated on a calendar year basis. At closing both the buyer and the seller receive a copy of the settlement sheet that, among other things, shows debts and credits for real estate taxes. If, at the end of the tax year, the estimated taxes were substantially inaccurate, the party that underpaid for their portion of the prorated year can be asked to contribute to the party that overpaid.

Why would a lender pay the homeowner insurance?
Actually, the home owner pays the home owner's insurance. The lender has an escrow account. This is in additional to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. The escrow account pays the taxes and insurance. The escrow account pays the taxes so the government does not seize the property. The homeowners insurance pays in case the house burns down. So, you pay into the escrow account, and if your house burns down, the lender gets the insurance money. You would not pay a mortgage on a burned down house and the bank knows that, so they have you pay into the escrow account and they pay for the insurance.
