I just bought this property, so why am I being billed for last year's taxes?

Any prior years' taxes should have been handled at the time of sale. If they were not, remember that taxes levied on Real Property are a perpetual lien on the property without respect to ownership and have priority over all liens until they are paid in full. The settlement of who has tax liability rests with the buyer and seller.
