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.

This series consists of registers describing non-resident property on which taxes were owed which the Comptroller's Office "rejected" because the descriptions were incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate or for another technical reasons. The descriptions were used to produce accurate lists of lands to be advertised for sale. Reasons for rejection are stated in the margin in red ink. Descriptions may include a brief description of property; location; acreage; valuation; taxes owed or type of tax owed.
