What is the name of your state?michigan
I co-owned a 40 acre parcel of land with my father since 1996, last year i removed my father from the deed, making me sole owner. now reeder township said i have to pay over double the tax because of a law stating sale of property. can this be correct?

Yes, but you might see if there's an exception for family transfers among joint tenants.
