Property tax on 1/4 interest in Homestead

My father died and my brother and I each inherited 1/4 interest in the 2/7 acres including the Homestead which my father's wife lives in. My brother and I each received a property tax bill for our 1/4 ownership. Should we be paying the property taxes on this?
