While @50% of the population that files taxes doesn't pay tax because their income isn't high enough or they have deductions to cover it...it's reasonable to say all emembers of Congress have salaries and withholding high enough to warrent they end up paying taxes with their filing.
If they are property taxes, there is a lien on the property. In those cases the property has to be sold to settle the debts. If there are no assets in the estate, the taxes won't get paid.

To find out if back property taxes are owed on property (real estate or personal property) call your local city or county treasurer's office. Some cities and counties have tax collectors or assessors who handle this function. If you are buying real estate your title insurance company will investigate any back taxes owned the property for you.
Go to your county where the taxes are owned and see if they can arrange a payment plan. If this is not possible one can find help from a tax professional. It is possible to get in trouble with the IRS for property back taxes but it isn't likely since the IRS only handles federal taxes and property taxes are controlled by individual counties.
It is the responsibility of the land owner to pay the property taxes. If a land owner is selling property for which back taxes are owed the payment of the taxes can be part of the negotiations for the sale of the land. However, the issue must be addressed prior to the sale.It is up to the purchaser of property to make certain the property taxes have been paid by the seller at the time of the purchase. If the buyer doesn't demand proof the taxes have been paid BEFORE the sale, the land will be acquired SUBJECT TO any back taxes owed. If land is purchased for which back taxes are owed the new owner will be responsible for paying the back taxes or the town will take possession of the property.The purchase of real property should always be supervised by an attorney. One of the first items on the land purchase check list is to obtain a certificate from the town that states the taxes are paid.
Typically, if the back taxes are paid by anyone before the tax sale, ownership of the property does not change. If there was a written agreement between the owners and the person who paid the taxes that stated that the owners agreed to deed the property to the tax-payer after the tax-payer paid the taxes, then the agreement could be enforced as a legally binding contract and the owners could be forced to deed the property to the tax-payer. However, the owners remain the owners until they deed the property to someone else or until the property is sold at a tax sale or other type of foreclosure.
