Higher property taxes feared on inherited home

DEAR BENNY: Will the real estate tax rate increase if I inherit my father's house? My dad said it might not if I take the home as a distribution. I am currently living in his house, which is under his name. My concern is that when I have the option to purchase the home, the tax rate will go up, but it may not if I inherit it by this "distribution"? Your help is appreciated. Thank you. --Lynette
