That is an unusual arrangement, but you must have signed a lease.

If you agreed to it. most likely it is legal.

Check with your town or county to see if there is a law preventing property tax surcharges being passed directly on to tenants rather than just being incorporated into the total rent amount.

If you signed a lease to that effect, then yes it is. I would take a look at your lease and read all the fine print.
