I am not an attorney but the owner of record is and continues to be responsible for taxes as long as it is in his/her name. They are also responsible for insurance, maintenance, liabilities, etc.
Just because they can't occupy the premises (voluntary or involuntary) doesn't excuse them from liabilities. I also assume the property remains protected by City or Town police and fire services (paid for by Real Estate taxes).
Can you imagine what sort of havoc would occur all over the USA if this were the case? How would municipalities survive without the revenue?
