The scenario isn't entirely clear but I will outline general legal principles below.
If a trustee holds deed pursuant to a trust agreement and is required to pay property tax out of the trust, you may need to remove the trustee pursuant to the trust document terms and substitute a new trustee.
If you are instead talking about a joint owner who is on title along with you, the law provides a way to remove joint owners by something called a sale in lieu of partition action, which requires a lawsuit.
