Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) When any county collector shall determine that the original certification to the Commissioner of State Lands of any lands, or town or city lots, should be cancelled, corrected, or in any way changed, said official shall issue a certificate to the Commissioner of State Lands. Such certificate shall contain the legal description of the property, state the change, and state the appropriate manner in which to make such change.

(b) Upon receipt of any cancellation or correction certificate, the Commissioner of State Lands shall determine whether the certificate offers sufficient evidence to warrant cancellation or correction of the certification of any real property. If the Commissioner of State Lands determines that cancellation or correction is warranted, the Commissioner of State Lands shall approve the cancellation or correction certificate, amend the records of the Commissioner of State Lands, forward the certificate to the county collector, and the certificate shall be filed with the recorder of the county and properly recorded in the deed records. A recorded copy of such certificate shall be transmitted to any other county officials upon whose records the parcel is recorded.

(c) Whenever a cancellation or correction certificate has been recorded in the records of the Commissioner of State Lands, the Commissioner of State Lands shall issue a cancellation or correction deed on property which has been redeemed, sold, or otherwise disposed of as tax-forfeited land. The Commissioner of State Lands shall forward the deed to be filed in the county where the property is located.

(d) No recording fee shall be charged by or against the recorder on any cancellation or correction certificate or on any cancellation or correction deed issued by the Commissioner of State Lands.

(e) When any county assessor shall determine that the information on tax-delinquent parcels is erroneous, whether by legal description, name of record owner, double assessment, or other cause, the assessor shall inform the county collector of such change, and the county collector shall forward a cancellation or correction certificate to the Commissioner of State Lands as specified in subsection (a) of this section.

(f) Should information contained in the records of the Commissioner of State Lands be found to be erroneous, whether by legal description, name of record owner, or other cause, the Commissioner of State Lands may, at his or her discretion, waive all or part of penalties and interests applied thereon as a result of the inaccuracies.
