Yes you can sue the town. (In fact you can file a suit against Santa Claus.). But you will be wasting your time. You are better off spending your energy finding a way to pay the tax.

You have not stated legitimate grounds for suing the town. There is no requirement that all people who owe back taxes be treated identically.
