You might start by taking the total tax amount you have paid and divide by two assuming that you and your brother have a one half interest in your father's premises. You might also consider a petition to partition and sell the house and seek an accounting of how the net proceeds of sale are to be divided between you and your brother with a credit to you for what you have paid that was your brother's share of the expenses of maintaining the real estate and paying taxes and utilities. An accounting also can be sought in the context of an estate proceeding assuming one was ever filed.
