Documents relating to cancellations and redemptions of tax sales, [ca.1873-1934] (bulk 1878-1900).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122583211

This series includes denied applications for cancellation of tax sales; comptroller's orders setting aside cancellations; motions and stipulations in comptroller's hearings to set aside cancellations; and denied applications to redeem lands from tax sales. Most tax sales referenced were held between 1867 and 1895. Most of the affidavits for cancellation allege minor technical errors in preparing tax rolls or collecting taxes, errors which were insufficient grounds for redeeming property or cancelling a sale. Denied applications to redeem lands from tax sales contain detailed information on alleged occupancy and use of lands.
