5 Tax Interested Parties 7455 Bingham Allow users to enter interested parties for a tax deed year that has already been copied During the tax deed process, interested parties are copied from the last tax deed year to the new one. Only parcels that are delinquent at the time of the copy will have records created for that year. If a parcel becomes delinquent after the copy (as the result of reversals and/or adjustments, for example) interested parties have to be manually entered. The program has been changed to allow users to create a tax deed record for any year they need. Once the year has been created, they can then add interested parties to it.
