New York State Comptroller's Office Register of Applications for Cancellations of Tax Sales

This volume lists information gathered from applications for cancellations of tax-sales. All of the applications were made in 1885 for tax-sales held as early as 1866. Information given for each entry includes name of applicant; date of application; description of land; tax-sale year; ground of application; and remarks. Grounds for cancellation frequently include failure of the assessors to certify assessment rolls; failure of the comptroller's office to follow proper notification procedures; and other reasons technical in nature. Remarks, when given, typically indicate whether the cancellation was withdrawn, denied, or granted.
