I can't recall what redietz's explanation was as to how he came to not pay his property tax on time.

Could be a legitimate reason for a solvent person to be late, but he could also have been broke as a joke at the time.

It isn't definitive proof by any means, but it would tend to support your claim.

Bottom line: the truth, as is oft the case, is unknown.

But I don't believe he's a deadbeat; nor do I get the feeling he's particularly well off: I think he's just an average guy with a keen interest in sports betting and arguing on social media.
