Property taxes when moving, 2 questions

Question:

We owed a home, got divorced.  He moved out and left town. 

I did renovations to the house and got it ready to sell.

It finally sold 1 year later, March 2020.

It is owner financing for 3 years.

The estimated property tax for 2019 is around $13,000 to be paid by December 2020.

How much can I deduct in my 2020 tax return?

 

In June 2019 I bought a townhouse to move into and did renovations there as well.

My property taxes for 2018 were $3793 I paid at closing June 2019.

2019 property taxes will be around $8,000, to be paid by January 2021.

How much can I deduct in my 2020 tax return?

 

Thank you!
