You would take your deduction in 2019 for your property taxes actually paid in 2019. 

 

Tax returns report activity on a cash basis, so your deductions will be reported as they were actually paid in 2019.

when did you acquire the property becuase if it was in 2018 you may have received credit for the portion of  the year you didn't own the property. you would have to reduce the taxes you paid by the credit amount.
