MEMO
January 15, 1952
To:
From:
Subject:
County Examiners, Auditor and Treasurers
Division of 1~ll1icipa1 Corporations
1% Real Estate Tax
In order that the revenue derived from the 1% tax on
the sale of real estate (Chapter 11, Laws of 1951) can be properly
audited by State Examiners, as well as by County A~ditors, the fol-
lowing procedure shall be followed: .
At the time the ta.x is paid the Treasurer shall issue a
pre-numbered triplicate receipt. The receipt used may be the com-
bination "affidavit receipt" now used in many instances; it may be
a special receipt used for this purpose, or it may he the Trea-
surer's regular miscellaneous receipt, but in all instances shall
be pre-numbered.
The County Auditor shall refuse to accept for filing any
instrument, where the affidavit indicates a tax has been paid, with-
out first having seen the buyer's original receipt issued by the
Treasurer.
The above procedure is now being followed in many coun...
ties and these instructions do not substantially alter the proce-
dure outlined in Bulletin No. 8-B, released May 2, 1951.
