No, as far as I know, your "Bell Count" does not increase when you tap on your neighbor's buiildings. Even though they use a "bell" symbol on the buildings to indicate which buildings are able to be tapped, I don't think that means that you get a bell for each building you tap. I think it's just used as an indicator to show which buildings CAN be tapped. Once tapped, the contents of that building show up as far as what you are going to get...cash, FP, XP, etc. I just went and verified it on several of my towns and my bell count didn't increase at all after tapping on numerous buildings in numerous towns. Also, when you first go into the towns you see the list of neighbors and the "raiting" as to who has the most bells (or whatever it is for that particular event) and on there it says, "Increase your score by firing elf-in-bottles to neighboring Springfields and compare it with your friends!" So, I belive the only way to increase your "Bell Count" is by tapping on elves in your town and then firing them using the cannon into neighboring towns.
