Can I claim my back property taxes on my current taxes? When I sold my home I paid some back owed taxes, can I claim these?

I owed some back taxes (2 years) when I sold my home. Can I claim these paid taxes on my 2017 taxes?

If the taxes were paid in 2017, then they can be claimed on the 2017 return.

Just have to be yours, assessed and paid to be deductible.
