Is sales tax owed if I assume a loan?

Yes. Any "SALE" creates a taxable event when tangible property is exchanged for cash or consideration. 

Consideration means recompense or payment which includes to the parties to a sale. Consideration is not limited to cash. Assumption of debt is a form of consideration. 

Sales tax would be collected on the remainder of the loan.
