Register of occupied lands in Erie County sold as non-resident lands in tax sales of 1826-1885
Series Number
B1620
Summary
This volume was apparently created by the Erie County Guaranteed Search Company and submitted to the State Comptroller. An accompanying memorandum indicates that the volume documents occupied or resident lands in Erie County mistakenly sold as unoccupied or non-resident lands for unpaid taxes in the tax-sales of 1826-1885. The memorandum further indicates that the signers wish to make application to the comptroller for redemption of all lots listed that had not already been cancelled or redeemed.

Daybook of tax and redemption payments to county treasurers
Series Number
B1609
Summary
In 1850, the legislature transferred the function of selling and conveying land for unpaid taxes to the county treasurers. The comptroller continued to receive copies of lists of unpaid non-resident taxes and of lands redeemed and finally conveyed. In 1855 the legislature restored the former system of comptroller's sales of non-resident lands. This register records tax and redemption payments made to county treasurers for overdue taxes on non-resident lands.

This series provides summary information on cancellation of tax sales held to sell lands for unpaid taxes. While tax-sales for as early as 1800 are referred to, and a few cancellations are included for as late as 1946, the cancellations generally date from 1818-circa 1930. Usual causes for cancellation include errors in tax assessment, mistakes in payment records before the tax-sale, and redemption payments made after the tax-sale was completed.
