Certificates of sales and applications for deeds by purchasers, 1915-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122637901

The Revenue Commissioner is ex officio land commissioner (Ala. Code, 40-10-50). The Ad Valorem and Equalization Division fulfills the duties of the commissioner regarding state lands. One of their primary duties involves administering the sale of property sold to the state for unpaid taxes and maintaining the records of redemptions (1987 Annual Report). Before 1939 these duties were performed by the State Land Commissioners (also known as Land Agent) who worked within the offices of the State Auditor, State Commission of Forestry and the State Tax Commission. This series is created to trace the sale of state land, acquired from tax sales, to other purchasers before the sale takes place and a deed is issued. Information available in the records includes name of applicant wishing to purchase land, date land was sold, legal description of the land, purchase price, and other facts regarding the tax sale and the applicant for the land.
