However, if the Joint tenants are married filing a joint return then technically it is only one taxpayer and not two. 

The list actually gave me the mailing address (I assume whatever was registered in the tax payments, as well as the property address). 

To get technical, you will be going up against the Economic Substance Doctrine which states that a transaction has economic substance if: (1) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart from Federal income tax effects) the taxpayer’s economic position; and (2) the taxpayer has a substantial purpose (apart from Federal income tax effects) for entering into such transaction.By transferring your primary residence into a LLC, you would not be changing your economic position.

If I were lucky enough to find another property within the required time frame and make the 1031 exchange, I would have to still have the thoughts of future tax payments in the back of my mind for possibly years( unless I died, then it would not matter).

@Tamara Glass, The taxpayer for the old property has to be the tax payer for the new property. 

If the taxpayer sends the improvements affidavit to the investor by certified mail, and it has been more than 40 business days since the affidavit was sent, with no response by the investor, then the taxpayer will be allowed to redeem anyway.Shelby County will note their files if an investor claims to be entitled to payment for improvements.

It goes on to say that I cannot get title insurance on this type of deed because there is no "quiet title action" or "quit claim deed" from the defaulting taxpayer.

I can't speak for other folks, but on my properties I have my accountant accrue the property tax payment over the life of the property tax period.

I had a rental appraisal done for it for additional cost during the process and the results were good enough so that 70% of that number covered my Principal, interest and insurance and property tax payments with a little left over. 

So buying the house and lot and then splitting the lot out and buying it from yourself in the 1031 won't work.If the entity that buys the house and lot is a different unrelated taxpayer to you then sure it would work.
