Sorry to hear about your situation. Visit your comune with your purchase papers and CF if you have time. If not, then yes they may fine you, but I read elsewhere someone had been told it would be €5 for them... You can actually calculate it here  and simply pay half now via your bank or the poste... I do believe someone here posted a link to a site telling you how to pay your IMU from outside Italy. 

I know it runs up fees, but in my experience it's well worth using a professional who understands both the �������� and Brit mindset, as well as the tax systems.  I know of two that forum members use: Michael Murphy and Antonio del Gaizo, and there may be others.  Of course everyone's different and if you're resident, fluent in �������� and on chatting terms with the Comune you may not want to shell out for something you feel competent in doing yourself. And of course it may be a bit of overkill to pay a professional just to sort out your IMU.  But if you can't be there and it's stressing you out......

From a guy on another forum...   :)

Go on your comuunes website - it should have details of how to pay from abroad.  And they'll have an IMU calculator, all you need is your 'rendita' value   Just done mine with internet banking - relatively simple - 2 payments, 1 to comune bank account and 1 to the state bank account, and send copies of payment details via email to comune.  And repeat in December

I hadn't paid any tax at all since I bought my house in 2006 but have managed to catch up - firstly by paying demands that came through the post (like the rubbish ones do) and then by just visiting the comune for the remaining years.  My �������� is poor but it was easy as they simply entered the address into the magic machine, asked me how much time I spent at the house (non resident) then printed out the F24 for me to take to pay.  I was told by neighbours that fines were not going to be applied this year as everyone is in such a muddle.  Fines tend to be relatively small anyway.  I tried a commercialista but the costs were quite expensive.  Hope this helps.

I have used a local professional firm recommended to me by the Immobiliare that I bought my house from - seems to have been a seamless operation. I pay online - and it's all sorted. One less worry.
