Which item is shown on the Permanent Record used for redemptions?

• A. Copy of recorded certificate with date
• B. Tax assessor's name
• C. Owner's social security number
• D. Current assessed value

Answer: (A)

Redemption hinges on having the official document that proves the tax lien and its recording. The copy of the recorded certificate with the date is kept in the Permanent Record because it identifies the exact tax sale certificate, shows when it was recorded, and fixes the redemption rights and the amount due. This date is critical for calculating interest, identifying the correct redemption period, and providing the authoritative reference needed when redeeming. The other items—assessor’s name, owner’s social security number, and current assessed value—do not establish or govern redemption and aren’t what the Permanent Record uses for that purpose.
