Daybooks of redemption payments made for non-resident lands sold for unpaid taxes, 1849-1929 (bulk 1849-1856, 1866-1929)

This series of daybooks ("redemption diaries") documents daily receipts of payments made to the comptroller to recover title to property sold for unpaid taxes. Payment could be made by either the owner or occupant of the property. Payments included delinquent taxes, interest, and other expenses incurred by the state in connection with the sale of the property. If full payment was made within two years of the sale (later, within one year) the tax-sale was voided. In such a case the purchase price was refunded to the buyer, and ownership of the property reverted to the original owner or occupant.
