yeah that is how it works unfortunately, you could have negotiated with the seller, but it is to late for that now

Yes, the buyer pays. I bought my house 2 years ago, and we paid the taxes for the last half of that year at closing.

you are responsible for the period you own the property. Maybe at the closing that factor was taken into account but since you wrote the check for that year's taxes you feel that way. Realtors hardly ever make such a mistake I'm sure. Double check your records.
