Accounts of unpaid taxes assessed on non-resident lands, 1799-1926.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77918701

These are accounts of lands owned by non-residents on which taxes were unpaid. Through 1893 the records cover all counties except New York; after 1893 only Forest Preserve counties are represented. The accounts were prepared by the town tax collectors, certified as accurate by the county treasurer, and forwarded to the comptroller for filing. Accounts list parcels owned by non-residents on which taxes were unpaid, and show the acreage, assessed valuation, and amount of tax due. Some of the accounts filed in the early nineteenth century include names of non-resident owners, but most do not. The comptroller used these accounts to prepare the published lists of lands to be sold for unpaid taxes.
